On 3 September, CCS Europe, alongside 55+ other leading associations, businesses and civil society groups, sent a joint letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and senior EU and UK leaders. The signatories welcome progress towards linking the EU and UK Emissions Trading Systems (ETS), but they warn that without urgent steps to coordinate on Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), the ambition risks getting stuck in the pipeline. They stress that it is time to fast-track cooperation on CCUS as part of the ongoing discussions on linking the EU and UK ETS.
