Carbon Capture Global Summit 2026

Carbon Capture Global Summit 2026 is a two-day international CCUS conference and exhibition taking place on 22 to 23 September 2026 at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London, United Kingdom. Held under the theme “Delivering the Global Gigaton Transition: Scaling Carbon Management from Projects to Ecosystems,” the summit will bring together 800+ decision-makers, 100+ executive speakers, and 55+ sponsors and partners from industry, finance, government, and technology.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of the summit is to accelerate the shift from individual CCUS projects toward a connected, large-scale carbon management ecosystem. The event focuses on increasing capture and storage capacity, improving project economics, unlocking investment, strengthening cross-border cooperation, and creating the infrastructure and commercial frameworks needed to support gigaton-scale deployment.

Key Activities

The summit combines high-level strategic discussions, executive panels, an exhibition, structured networking, one-to-one meetings, and presentations from senior industry and government representatives. Core topics include securing final investment decisions, developing industrial CCUS clusters, transport and storage infrastructure, project finance, international collaboration, and global best practices for scaling carbon management. Delegates also receive access to the co-located SAF Global Summit 2026.

Significance

The event is significant because the global CCUS sector is moving from pilots and individual projects toward larger interconnected systems. The summit brings together stakeholders from Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and other regions to address the commercial, regulatory, financial, and infrastructure challenges that must be resolved for CCUS to expand at the scale required for long-term decarbonisation.

Expected Outcomes

Attendees can expect new business relationships, stronger understanding of international CCUS markets, and direct engagement with project developers, storage operators, financiers, technology companies, and policymakers. The summit is intended to support investment decisions, project partnerships, industrial cluster development, technology deployment, and greater coordination across the global carbon capture and storage value chain.
