    • 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.

  • Summary

The Projects Network acts as forum where CCS and CCU project developers exchange information, discuss enablers and hurdles, good practices, and de-risking on planned and ongoing projects across Europe, and engage with European, regional, national and local policymakers. This network is an important tool to efficiently support projects and at the same time actively support the European Commission and governments on necessary policy/regulation, funding and actions linked to public perception. The network meetings are held over two days every 4-6 months in cooperation with and at a project site, centred around in-depth discussions between project developers on operational, technical, governance, commercial and financial issues faced by industry and specifically ongoing and planned projects.

  • Temporary Working Groups

Temporary Working Group CO2 Infrastructure

The focus area for this working group is to develop a policy angle to CO2 transport and storage infrastructure, as well as to provide expert opinions and policy recommendations on how climate-neutral European energy infrastructure should be developed. The group aims to ensure that the approach is in line with the European Green Deal, the European Climate Law, and the European Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance. This will bring about the need to broaden the scope of existing legislations, such as the TEN-E regulation, to include pipeline and all other modalities such as shipping, truck, and rail and CO2 storage.

Temporary Working Group Sustainability Taxonomy

The Temporary Working Group for Sustainability Taxonomy follows the EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities process and provides input where necessary. The group provides input to the Technical Expert Group and the European Commission giving an expert opinion on the role of CCS and CCU in enabling sustainable EU industrial activities.
