Strategic CCUS & Carbon Removal Advisory

Development of robust strategies and decision-making frameworks for the technical and commercial implementation of CCUS and Carbon Removal projects.

Services:

Drees & Sommer supports industrial companies in developing decarbonisation strategies and assessing the role of Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) within their broader transformation programmes. We evaluate technical options, economic viability, regulatory frameworks, funding opportunities, as well as transport and storage solutions, bringing these elements together into a robust business case.

Feasibility Studies & Project Development

Comprehensive assessment of the technical, commercial and infrastructural feasibility of CCUS projects.

Services:

We provide the foundation for investment decisions by delivering feasibility studies for complex CCUS projects. Our services include technology and option assessments, CAPEX/OPEX analyses, economic evaluations, site assessments, and concepts for CO₂ transport, logistics and storage. The objective is to develop a robust and implementable project concept with clearly defined pathways for execution.

CCUS Engineering & System Integration

Technical planning and integration of all plant, infrastructure and utility components across the CO₂ value chain.

Services:

Drees & Sommer develops integrated engineering concepts for CO₂ capture, conditioning, transport, utilisation and storage. During Pre-FEED and FEED phases, we coordinate plant design, energy and utility systems, storage connections and integration into existing production facilities. Particular emphasis is placed on complex brownfield environments and the reduction of interface risks.

CO₂ Infrastructure, Transport & Logistics

Planning and integration of transport and logistics solutions for the safe and cost-effective movement of CO₂.

Services:

We develop infrastructure and logistics concepts across the entire CO₂ value chain. Our services include transport corridor studies, rail and port connections, hubs and terminals, and connections to storage and utilisation sites. Technical, commercial and regulatory requirements are considered in equal measure to ensure viable and scalable solutions.

EPCM, Project Management & Delivery

Management and execution of complex CCUS projects from planning through to commissioning.

Services:

As Owner’s Engineer and EPCM partner, Drees & Sommer provides overall management of engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning activities. Our services include engineering management, tendering and procurement, project and construction management, cost and schedule control, risk and contract management, as well as commissioning support. This approach ensures maximum investment confidence and delivery certainty.

End-to-End CCUS Project Integration

Holistic integration of all stakeholders, processes and infrastructure across the entire CO₂ value chain.

Services:

Drees & Sommer acts as the integrator for complex CCUS and Carbon Removal projects. We connect emitters, technology providers, infrastructure operators, logistics partners, and storage and utilisation solutions into a fully functioning overall system. By managing the entire value chain from the emission source to permanent storage or utilisation, we minimise interface risks and create greater investment security.

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) & Negative Emissions

Advisory and project development services for the permanent removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere.

Services:

In addition to conventional CCUS applications, Drees & Sommer supports clients in the design and implementation of Carbon Removal solutions. These include Direct Air Capture (DAC), Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), and other negative-emissions technologies. We assess technical feasibility, infrastructure requirements, economic viability and scalability, supporting projects from concept development through to implementation.
