Listen Time: Full Show 57:38 (unless you listen sped up 😉)
This week, we’re joined by Todd Bush, an expert in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), with decades of experience supporting oil and gas companies in their decarbonization efforts. Todd has founded and sold multiple companies and is now leading decarbonfuse, a daily newsletter tracking deal activity in carbon capture and industrial decarbonization.
This conversation covers the current state of carbon capture, where the momentum is strongest, the biggest barriers to scaling CCUS, and how policy and investment shifts are shaping the industry. If you’re curious about where the carbon capture market is headed and how it intersects with industries like ethanol, hydrogen, and steel production, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!
Todd is a veteran in the energy and industrial decarbonization space, having built and exited multiple companies in energy analytics and decarbonization tracking. His current venture, Decarbon Fuse, provides real-time deal tracking for the carbon capture industry. He brings deep insights into how CCUS projects are developing, the hurdles they face, and where the biggest opportunities lie.

"The real challenge isn’t just capturing CO2—it’s securing long-term agreements, navigating permitting, and building the financial case. The projects that solve for those will be the ones that scale." – Todd Bush
