Drawing on ZEP’s participation in the latest Meeting of the Contracting Parties to the London Protocol, this article explains how the legal framework for cross-border CO₂ transport and offshore storage has evolved, where it stands today, and how it connects to the upcoming EU framework for CO₂ transport and infrastructure. It also explores the lessonsContinue reading “From barrier to enabler: the role of the London Protocol in advancing CCS across Europe”

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.
Webinar: Building a European CO2 transport and storage infrastructure
ZEP is delighted to invite you to a webinar on “Building a European CO2 transport and storage infrastructure”

Transporting CO2 by ship and by inland waterway will be crucial for climate action. A ZEP report documents addresses addresses key challenges in this area.
“Why CO2 transport and storage infrastructure is vital to reach climate neutrality”
The large-scale deployment of cross-border CO2 transport and storage infrastructure is crucial for the EU to reach its 2050 climate target. To this end, all modes of CO2 transport – pipeline, ship, barge, truck, train – and CO2 storage should be included in the revised TEN-E regulation, writes Dr Graeme Sweeney.
Open letter on the need to include CO2 storage and multiple transport modalities in TEN-E Regulation
ZEP has signed an open letter from 27 leaders in industry, academia, and civil society on the need to include CO2 storage and multiple modes of CO2 transport in the revised TEN-E Regulation. CO2 transport and storage infrastructure is crucial to connect CO2 emitters to permanent geological storage of captured CO2.
Revised TEN-E Regulation must acknowledge CO2 transport and storage are both critical to achieve climate neutrality in the EU
The European Commission has presented the revision of the Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) Regulation. With this revision, the Commission aims to ensure that the EU’s energy infrastructure is fully consistent with the EU target to reach climate neutrality by 2050. Following the announcement of the revision, ZEP has sent a letter to Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson, highlighting several issues with the revision – notably the absence of CO2 storage and CO2 transport modalities other than pipeline.
ZEP Conference on CO2 Transport and Storage Infrastructure
On 28 January, the Zero Emissions Platform organised a conference on “How European CO2 Transport and Storage infrastructure can enable an innovative industrial transition” at the European Parliament. The conference was hosted by Tom Berendsen MEP (EPP, NL) and Jens Geier MEP (S&D, DE). The conference was well attended with a turnout of almost 100Continue reading “ZEP Conference on CO2 Transport and Storage Infrastructure”
