The Global CCS Institute (GCCSI) is an international think tank headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, established to promote the development and deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to mitigate climate change.[1] It was founded in 2009 by the Australian government as a not-for-profit entity with an initial commitment of AU$100 million.[2] As of 2025, its membership exceeds 200 organizations across 33 countries.[3]

CO2RE

[edit]

The institute maintains CO2RE, a database tracking global CCS projects, both active and planned.[4] It's stated purpose is to aid transparency in CCS efforts.[5]

Global Status Report

[edit]

The institute's flagship annual product is the Global Status Report, which they have published since 2015. The report tracks CCS projects globally, by region, and by facility.[6] The 2024 report found that there were 628 comercial CCS facilities with a total capture capacity of 416 millions of tonnes per annum.[7]
