On 2 June, the Zero Emissions Platform and the Global CCS Institute co-organised a webinar as part of EU Green Week 2021, focusing on how CCS can support reaching a climate-neutral EU by 2050. With expert speakers joining from industry and policy, the webinar considered opportunities and challenges for CCS projects in Europe, incentivising CCS, the important role of cross-border European CO2 transport and storage infrastructure, and assessing up-and-coming regions, well placed to support CCS and climate neutrality targets.
