Methodological study demonstrates dynamic multi-criteria scoring in carbon capture pathways, highlighting how shifting policy objectives alter project selection.
Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technologies are increasingly recognized as key instruments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions while enabling value‐added CO 2 applications. However, the evaluation and prioritization of CCU projects remain challenging due to the lack of integrated assessment frameworks. This study proposes a systems‐based, multi‐criteria decision‐making framework that combines technological, economic, environmental, social, and governance dimensions through nine evaluation factors. The framework incorporates a transparent scoring and dynamic weighting mechanism to reflect changing decision contexts and stakeholder priorities. A structured methodological workflow is presented, including factor definition, expert input, aggregation, and scenario‐based evaluation. Illustrative CCU pathways demonstrate how project rankings vary under different policy objectives, providing a foundation for transparent decision‐making.
