The UK CCUS market is accelerating. The challenge is keeping up.

Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) has moved from long-term ambition to commercial reality.

Across the UK, billions of pounds are being invested into industrial decarbonisation, CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure, low-carbon hydrogen and carbon removal technologies. New projects continue to emerge, supply chains are expanding, and government policy is rapidly evolving.

But with this growth comes complexity.

For developers, investors, technology providers, consultancies and supply chain organisations, the biggest challenge is no longer finding information. It’s understanding how everything connects.

  • Projects rely on infrastructure.
  • Infrastructure depends on policy.
  • Investment follows market readiness.
  • Supply chains grow around emerging opportunities.

Looking at any one of these in isolation rarely provides enough insight to make confident commercial decisions.

That’s why Olsights developed a different approach.

 Moving Beyond Traditional Market Intelligence

Most market intelligence products provide:

  • Lists of projects
  • Static PDF reports
  • Individual datasets
  • Company directories
  • News updates

These resources are valuable, but they only tell part of the story.

Users are still left manually connecting information across multiple sources to answer questions such as:

  • Which projects are genuinely progressing?
  • Which industrial clusters are becoming investment hotspots?
  • Where is supporting transport and storage infrastructure being developed?
  • Which regions offer the greatest commercial opportunity?
  • Who is already active within the supply chain?
  • How do infrastructure, emissions, policy and investment interact?

Answering these questions often takes days or even weeks of manual research.

 

Connected Intelligence Instead of Connected Spreadsheets

At Olsights, we believe market intelligence should help people make decisions, not simply provide data.

Our Connected Intelligence approach brings together multiple parts of the CCUS ecosystem into one integrated view.

Rather than analysing projects alone, users can explore the complete value chain, including:

  • Industrial emissions
  • Carbon capture projects
  • CO₂ transport networks
  • Storage infrastructure
  • Investment activity
  • Government policy
  • Supply chain organisations
  • Technology providers
  • Regional industrial clusters

The result is a far richer understanding of where opportunities exist—and why.

Instead of manually joining spreadsheets and reports together, users can immediately explore the relationships between projects, infrastructure and markets.

Traditional Market Intelligence vs Olsights way

Introducing the Olsights Eye

The Olsights Eye is our interactive geospatial intelligence platform that powers connected decision-making across the energy transition.

Built specifically for complex infrastructure sectors such as CCUS, hydrogen and renewable energy, it combines interactive mapping, analytics dashboards and connected datasets into a single platform.

Rather than simply displaying information, it helps users investigate markets from multiple perspectives.

Users can:

  • Explore interactive maps
  • Filter projects instantly
  • Compare regions
  • Analyse industrial emissions
  • Investigate transport and storage infrastructure
  • Understand market readiness
  • Export charts and datasets
  • Build evidence for investment decisions

Instead of asking analysts to prepare another report, teams can answer their own questions in minutes.
