This Thesis proposes an integrated methodology that can be used as a roadmap for CO₂ valorisation, which can serve as a tool for ministries and regional governments in developing a strategy to reduce GHG emissions. The development of such a roadmap will allow efforts to be directed toward the practical implementation of CO₂ utilisation projects, which in turn will contribute to more rational use of carbon resources and support for sustainable development in various sectors of the economy.

The Thesis consists of the analysis and application of various methods presented in several scientific publications. These publications cover a wide range of issues, from the analysis of CO₂ valorisation options for regional development and the study of barriers to sustainable implementation of technologies to the consideration of legal and economic aspects of CO₂ use in energy. The results of the Thesis highlight the possibilities and prospects for the practical application of the proposed roadmap at the level of regional and sectoral strategies for reducing carbon emissions. The conclusions emphasise the importance of integrating technical, economic, legal and social aspects to form a comprehensive CO2 valorisation strategy.
