Why failing to accurately track emissions is the biggest threat to decarbonisation
We've worked on over
1/3
of the world's CCS projects
leading to over
200
studies completed globally
and we have over
40
years of experience in CCS
A net zero world
Across the globe, it’s now widely accepted that CCS will have a crucial role to play in helping to deliver a net-zero future. Wood has world-class expertise in CCS and an outstanding track record of delivering cutting-edge solutions in this field.
Full-chain capabilities
Our expertise spans all stages of a CCS project; capturing emissions from a single site or a cluster of emitters and transporting the CO2 safely to offshore hubs where it can be permanently sequestered.
Capture
Defining the optimal way to capture and compress CO2 from a single facility or a cluster of emitters.
Transport
Applying pipeline and process expertise to safely move CO2 from where it’s captured to where it’s stored
Storage
Assessment of well integrity, and ongoing monitoring of CO2 injection facilities and storage reservoirs.
Ideal delivery partner
Across each part of the CCS chain, we provide a broad range of services.
From initial concept and feasibility studies, through detailed engineering design and to the ongoing monitoring of pipelines and storage hubs, Wood is the ideal partner to help bring CCS projects off the page and into reality.
Decades of experience
Wood has been at the forefront of the CCS market for over 40 years. In that period, we have completed over 175 studies that could have collectively saved gigatons of CO2.
We have defined cutting-edge CCS solutions in a wide range of industrial sectors and in many countries across the globe. From the UK’s industrial heartlands to the US Gulf of Mexico, Western Australia, and many parts of the Middle East.
Delivering world-leading projects
Our people excel in the complex – this is never more evident than in the CCS field.
We are currently delivering one of the world’s largest hubs in the Middle East; designing a 400km long pipeline to transport CO2 in Canada; and completing a ‘first-of-a-kind’ project at a UK industrial cluster to define how to safely capture and move CO2 from multiple emitters.
Technology independent
At Wood, we hold strong relationships with all major CO2 capture technology licensors and have alliances with specialist firms in the transport and storage space.
However, we remain independent with no exclusive ties to any one party which means we can provide clients with balanced and objective advice that’s right for their project.

Carbon advisory
We’re already mitigating millions of metric tons of carbon emissions, working on three quarters of the UK’s industrial clusters and two of the world’s largest carbon capture and storage facilities, pinpointing key funding mechanisms along the way.
Decarbonisation SCORE
Our decarbonisation SCORE methodology provides a roadmap to setting and delivering emissions reduction targets. Whatever your decarbonisation journey, it is important to apply a structured process to be able to map out how your goals will be achieved and lead to a successful outcome.
Mining decarbonisation solutions
Our technical experts bring a unique approach to mapping decarbonisation goals and costs, along with decades of specialist industry knowledge, project and operations expertise and a portfolio of decarbonisation solutions to achieve them.
Future-ready heaters
Fired heaters in refineries or petrochemical facilities are typically among the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions and therefore offer the greatest opportunity for efficiency increase and emission reduction.
