Abstract

Beginning 2006, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has embarked on the carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) sector to enhance its oil production through enhanced oil recovery whilst sealing future carbon-dioxide emissions in geological formations. We apply the systems of innovation framework to assess the innovation related performance within the emerging CCUS sector in the UAE. We determine that the lack of CCUS related regulations, limited financial and human resources poses significant challenges for development of the CCUS sector. Findings from this study could offer policymakers relevant insights into how best to develop the CCUS sector in the GCC region.
