Snam is a leading energy infrastructure company, that operates network of natural gas pipelines spanning over 38,000km. The company also delas with storage, holding 17% of European gas storage capacity, and regasification. Our ambition is to develop and consolidate a system of energy infrastructure for a sustainable future, positioning ourselves as a multi-molecule operator at national and European level, focusing on innovation and enhancing the role of gaseous vectors. With 80 years of experience in the construction and management of infrastructure, and as a major European player in the transportation and storage of molecules, we are uniquely positioned to transfer our expertise to CO2 transport and storage. In December 2022, in collaboration with Eni, Snam launched the first CCS project in Italy, off the coast of Ravenna.

Snam also aims to reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2027, 40% by 2030, and 50% by 2032, reaching carbon neutrality (100%) by 2040, reaching net-zero emissions on all fronts, including indirect ones, by 2050. The company's business model is based on sustainable growth, transparency, the enhancement of talents and diversity, and the social protection and development of territories.

Open Grid Europe

Open Grid Europe is Germany’s largest gas transmission system operator (TSO) with a pipeline network of about 12.000 km. OGE provides infrastructure for the transportation of CO2, moving captured carbon to the destination of its further use or storage. OGE is also currently repurposing its pipeline systems and is developing a hydrogen network from the North Sea to Bavaria. Overall, OGE is a key asset to the energy transition and will lead the way to the green transition of Germany and Europe.

Bellona Europa is an independent, non-profit organisation that meets environmental and climate challenges head on. As a solution oriented NGO, Bellona Europa has worked on CCS as a tool for industrial decarbonisation for decades. CCS is not a silver-bullet solution in the fight against climate change, but we cannot reach net-zero without it.

Clean Air Task Force

Visit website

Clean Air Task Force (CATF) is an international nonprofit organisation that works to safeguard against the worst impacts of climate change by catalysing the rapid global development and deployment of climate technologies through research and analysis, public advocacy leadership, and partnership with the private sector.

Our goal is to rapidly accelerate the adoption of carbon capture and storage to prevent the emission of millions of tonnes of CO₂ from power generation and industrial sources around the world. CATF takes into account the role for carbon capture and storage globally as outlined by the scientific consensus and pathways from organisations like the IEA and IPCC by working backwards to develop, evaluate, and implement a roadmap of policies that will allow the technology to scale, deploy globally, and deliver necessary CO₂ reductions to meet our global climate goals.
In Europe, CATF has worked since 2020 to advance carbon capture and storage at the EU and Member State level, particularly in advocating for a EU strategy for carbon capture and storage as well as policies to support CO2 infrastructure development through the TEN-E and TEN-T Regulations, EU Emissions Trading System and the Net Zero Industry Act.
