K&A brings extensive experience in assessing the role of carbon capture as a means to decarbonize the energy industry. For the past 20 years, K&A has conducted extensive research on the application of captured CO2 for enhanced oil recovery purposes, conversion into chemicals, and the transport and sequestration of carbon in onshore and offshore storage sites. Our analysis has explored various market mechanisms to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors like cement, steel, and power.
We have conducted detailed regulatory and market analysis, including forecasts by geography, on the opportunities available for CCUS across North America, Europe, and Asia. Our market forecasting expertise investigates evolving regulations, investment programs, and technology strategies to decarbonize. These include regulatory, grant, and funding opportunities in the United States, such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), IIJA, Section 45Q, and other programs that can be leveraged through funding or private investment.
In Europe, we have analysed the role and expiry of ETS in 2036, CBAM, the Industrial Carbon Management Strategy, Green Bonds and Loans, Carbon Pricing Mechanisms, Government Grants and Subsidies, EU Innovation and Funding Programs, as well as private investment and partnerships. Our expertise also focuses heavily on assessing the viability of various technology strategies and the cost of compliance, such as liquid solvents (amine scrubbing), membrane processes, calcium looping, oxy-combustion, cryogenic separation, and solid sorbents.
Our team brings extensive experience in undertaking custom market studies, M&A due diligence reports, market forecasts for CCUS and hydrogen-based opportunities, regulatory analysis, technical reports, market and brand management strategies, grant and funding applications, and economic analysis.
If you are looking to rebrand your company, obtain pilot funding to improve your TRL levels, conduct market research and analysis, develop market forecasts, create marketing materials, develop thought leadership papers and articles, or connect with a large network of decision-makers in CO2 capture and decarbonization, our team will provide the necessary technical, regulatory, branding, brand building, and marketing expertise.
Our webinars and podcasts on these subjects are extremely popular and attract refineries, cement companies, power producers, regulators, trade publications, and a range of other stakeholders advancing the CO2 market. Recently, K&A was invited by Secretary John Kerry to develop a white paper on the CCUS-Hydrogen Decarbonization Framework between the USA and emerging markets. In 2024, K&A will release a global market study on the opportunities and challenges within the global CCUS industry. This key document can help you plan your next steps in rebranding, market evaluation, due diligence, financial valuation, obtaining funding, setting up pilot programs, or tapping into available commercial markets, such as CBAM, CO2 to chemicals, Section 45Q, etc.
