The Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project, with a capacity of 1.5 million tons per year, has been a key solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and has been successful in its testing phases. However, this project faces serious challenges in attracting the necessary investments to continue its activities.
Project Details and Capacities
The CCS project, currently in its testing phases, aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from industrial and energy sources. This project has the capacity to store 1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide per year and is proposed as a suitable solution for mitigating the impacts of climate change. However, the success of this project depends on financing and investment support.

Investment Challenges
Studies show that despite technical successes, the CCS project faces serious challenges in attracting investment. Investors show less willingness to invest in this project due to insufficient guarantees on return and also a lack of clarity in climate change policies. This issue could lead to delays in project implementation and a reduction in carbon storage capacities.
Moreover, the need to create the necessary infrastructure for carbon storage and transportation incurs high costs, which can pose risks for investors. In this regard, governments and international organizations must play a greater role in supporting CCS projects to create the necessary conditions for attracting investment.
