In 2026, the Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) will mark its 20th anniversary. Coinciding with this milestone, the organisation is taking an important step forward: changing its name to Carbon Management Europe (CME). Below, we explain why the change is happening, what it means in practice, and what remains unchanged. Why change the name now? WhenContinue reading “Answering key questions on ZEP’s transition Carbon Management Europe”

2025: Europe’s carbon management moment? Takeaways from the ICM Summit.
2025 has marked a decisive shift for industrial carbon management: from project development to deployment. With Longship now operational, Northern Lights has begun delivering the first CO₂ injections from industrial sources in Europe. Across the continent, more projects have reached final investment decisions (FIDs) and are under construction, making industrial carbon management a tangible reality.Continue reading “2025: Europe’s carbon management moment?

Call for proposals! Study on carbon capture and storage and social sciences
ZEP is welcoming proposals for research looking at the role of social sciences and carbon capture and storage. The study aims to formulate recommendations for policymakers and project developers, to ensure CCS projects facilitate a just transition
Charting the course for CO2 transport by ship
With more carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects taking shape, CO₂ transport by ship will be essential to guarantee full-scale CO₂ transport across Europe. Ships are crucial to transport smaller volumes of CO₂, for long-distance transportation, and to transport CO₂ from isolated sites as well as for smaller and early-stage projects. The Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) and the Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA) have conducted a study to outline the scope of a European market for CO₂ shipping by 2030, focusing on interoperability, barriers, and commercialization enablers.
