The Carbontech Challenge

Decarbonizing heavy industry and pulling CO2 from our atmosphere at scale are among the greatest technology challenges we face on the road to net zero. The IPCC calls CCUS and industrial carbon removal “unavoidable” to address point source emissions and to mitigate residual emissions.

Canada is Shaping the Future of CCUS

The global CCUS and industrial carbon removal sector needs to deliver 2-10 billion tonnes of emission reductions or removals per year by 2050 from just 0.04 billion tonnes per year today. 

This will create a market worth $6 trillion annually, of roughly the same physical scale as today’s oil and gas sector. With 8% of the global patent pool and five of the world’s 30 large-scale projects, Canadian CCUS innovation and expertise is key to the sector’s success. carbonNEXT supports Canadian innovation leadership through:

Acceleration programs
for carbontech startups

Industry-driven Innovation Challenges

Investor matchmaking and tech showcase events

Sector-specific training, mentorship and non-dilutive fund development support

Research and marketing campaigns to reduce barriers and attract investment

Network of Canadian CCUS research and technology validation facilities and expertise


carbonNEXT plays a vital connecting and convening role in the emerging Canadian CDR ecosystem. Our participation in carbonNEXT has enabled Arca to make sense of our position in that ecosystem, and contribute and learn.
