According to the Global CCS Institute (GCCSI), as of April 2010, 238 projects involving CO2 capture, transport and/or storage are either active or planned worldwide. Of these, 80 are large-scale, integrated projects (>1 million tonnes of CO2/year for coal; >500 thousand tonnes of CO2/year for gas), where the entire CO2 capture-transport-storage chain is demonstrated: 9 (mainly storage-oriented projects) are already operational, two are under construction and 69 are at planning stages:

• 21 projects are performing feasibility studies and preliminary engineering design (most mature)
• 24 projects are conducting pre-feasibility studies and initial cost estimates (moderately mature)
• 24 projects are undertaking scoping studies (least mature).

Out of these 80 projects, 44 are in the power sector and 25 in Europe. Over $26 billion in funding has been proposed by governments globally for large-scale projects.
