Where to Stay for the CCUS Conference 2026 in Houston

The 4th annual Wood Mackenzie Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) Conference takes place on October 7-8, 2026 in Houston, TX. Over two days, senior executives, project developers, investors and technology providers assess how CCUS is advancing in a geopolitically ruptured and economically uncertain world. Agenda topics include the headwinds and tailwinds facing industrial decarbonization, post-combustion capture in hard-to-abate industries, hyperscaler data centers as a new demand anchor for carbon capture, the outlook for BECCS and DAC alongside other tech and nature-based CDR pathways, and the practical lessons from CCUS project successes and failures so far. Sessions also examine project economics, storage liability, monitoring, reporting and verification, and what it takes to reach FID. The program features keynotes, panels, fireside chats and roundtables, with speakers from ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, Google, JP Morgan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, SLB, TotalEnergies and many other organizations. Standard rate tickets are $1,395 USD per person, with discounts available for Wood Mackenzie clients and groups of two or more. It is a focused, deal-oriented gathering for professionals in carbon management, engineering, finance, operations, origination and procurement who need to understand where the CCUS value chain is heading.
