The importance of attaining carbon neutrality (CN) has progressively increased in addressing climate change, and consequently, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) has emerged as a promising tool in this pursuit. Nevertheless, a dearth of scholarly discourse exists about the factors that drive the implementation of CCUS in the context of corporate CN and the challenges that inhibit the adoption of CCUS for CN. This study aims to bridge this knowledge gap by analyzing open‐ended essays to gain cardinal insights into the experiences and perspectives of companies successfully implementing CCUS for CN. The collected (qualitative) data underwent rigorous analysis to synthesize three distinct dimensions encompassing various aspects of CCUS to achieve CN. The study identifies multiple CCUS components employed to manage carbon emissions effectively. It underscores the five drivers accelerating the adoption of CCUS and classifies them as intrinsic or extrinsic drivers. Various challenges impeding the successful adoption of CCUS have been pinpointed as emanating from financial, human resource, operational, technological, and strategic challenges; technology development and infrastructural challenges, environmental impacts; and social and regulatory challenges. Our research renders valuable theoretical and practical insights based on the prevalent discourse regarding the implementation of CCUS in the field of CN with a comprehensive and inclusive approach.

实现企业碳中和的驱动因素和挑战 — 碳捕集、利用和封存技术的定性调查


在应对气候变化方面，实现碳中和 （CN） 的重要性逐渐增加，因此，碳捕获、利用和封存 （CCUS） 已成为实现这一目标的一个有前途的工具。然而，关于在企业 CN 背景下推动 CCUS 实施的因素以及阻碍 CCUS 用于 CN 的挑战，存在缺乏学术论述。本研究旨在通过分析开放式论文来弥合这一知识差距，以获得对成功实施 CN CCUS 的公司的经验和观点的基本见解。收集的（定性）数据经过严格的分析，以综合涵盖 CCUS 各个方面的三个不同维度，以实现 CN。该研究确定了用于有效管理碳排放的多个 CCUS 组件。它强调了加速 CCUS 采用的五个驱动因素，并将它们分为内在驱动因素或外在驱动因素。阻碍成功采用 CCUS 的各种挑战已被确定为来自财务、人力资源、运营、技术和战略挑战;技术开发和基础设施挑战、环境影响;以及社会和监管挑战。我们的研究基于关于 CCUS 在 CN 领域以全面和包容性的方法实施的流行话语，提供了有价值的理论和实践见解。
