Abstract :-Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a key technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from industrial and energy sectors. However, its large-scale deployment depends not only on technical feasibility but also on economic and financial viability. This study examines CCS from a financial and economic management perspective by analysing capital expenditure, operational costs, revenue mechanisms, carbon pricing incentives, and risk factors. Key economic evaluation tools such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and levelized cost of CO₂ capture are discussed to assess project feasibility. The analysis highlights that CCS becomes economically attractive under strong carbon pricing policies, government incentives, and revenue generation through carbon credits or enhanced oil recovery. Effective financial planning and policy support are essential for commercial deployment and long-term sustainability of CCS projects.
