- Why industrial carbon management ?
  
  CCS will be vital to ensuring the EU can deliver its climate change goals.
  
  CCS has a unique role to play in delivering net-zero emissions across EU industry, power and transport sectors.
  
  CCS Benefits
- What is CCS
  
  CCS is a three-part chain: capture, transport and storage. Learn more about each of these parts and how they can be applied to different industries.

- What is CCU
  
  Carbon Capture and Utilisation covers a wide range of applications that convert carbon dioxide into other products. Some of these applications make a small but positive contribution to tackling climate change.

The Zero Emissions Platform

Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) is the trusted advisor to the European Union on industrial carbon management and seeks to accelerate its deployment in line with Europe’s climate ambition
ZEP’s objectives are threefold

1. Determine and create the conditions necessary to reach net-zero GHG emissions in Europe by 2050 with a focus on energy and industrial sectors.

2. Demonstrate that the implementation of CCS and CCU technologies at scale now is essential to achieve this goal.

3. Accelerate the deployment of large-scale CO2 transport and storage networks, enabling clean, competitive energy and industrial sectors, early large-scale clean hydrogen, and carbon dioxide removal.
To make net-zero possible we need

1. An enabling policy framework – making it economically feasible to invest in all parts along the CCUS value chain.

2. Strong continued support for CCUS R&I through Horizon Europe and partnerships.

3. Coherent and coordinated EU and national funding programs.

4. An EU strategy for CCS and CCU – including a regulatory framework for CO2 transport infrastructure.

5. Markets for net-zero products – where real climate impact is reflected in the price.
