CCS Europe response to the call for evidence on EU Innovation Fund operation evaluation
Carbon capture technologies are indispensable for the EU to reach net-zero by 2050. For some industries – especially those with process emissions, carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCS) technologies are the only solution to decarbonise. The European Commission...Find out more

CCS Europe response to the call for evidence on the Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act
In his Competitiveness Report (2024), Mario Draghi recognises that Europe’s energy-intensive industries are already today global leaders in developing innovative technologies – especially in CCS. For Europe to remain competitive, Draghi highlights that we need to address high energy prices and double-down on decarbonisation in a cost-efficient way. CCS has proven to be one of the technologies that can support theseFind out more

CCS Europe response to the call for evidence on the revision of the EU ETS
Carbon capture technologies are indispensable for the EU to reach net-zero by 2050. For some industries – especially those with process emissions, carbon capture and storage technologies are the only solution to decarbonise. The European Commission estimates that by 2040 around 280 million tonnes of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) will need to be captured and stored to reach a Greenhouse Gas emission reduction target of 90%. Mario Draghi stated in his competitiveness report that the decarbonisation...Find out more

CO2 Transport Infrastructure - A Discussion Paper
The capture of CO2 for permanent storage or use with a climate benefit is recognised by the European Commission as indispensable to the achievement of net-zero emissions by 2050. Its 2024 Communication on Industrial Carbon Management highlights modelling that suggests 280 million tonnes of CO2 will need to be captured annually within the Union by 2040.Find out more | Download

Open Letter to EU Commission from Industry and Civil Society
Fifty-one signatories from leading industries and civil society are calling on the new European Commission to urgently scale up industrial carbon management to meet Europe’s climate objectives. An open letter addressed to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, stresses the need for the rapid deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technologies to ensure European industries remain competitive and reach climate neutrality before 2050.Find out more | Download

Chris Davies' Keynote Speech at Carbfix Mineralisation Summit 2024
CARBFIX MINERALISATION SUMMIT 2024 Reykjavik, Iceland - 12/13 September Sixteen years ago I stood on a small concrete platform in the Sahara Desert – no sand dunes, just a rough stoney patch beneath the sun. Five kilometres away CO2 was being separated from methane at the In-Salah gas extraction plant and transported along a pipe. It emerged from the sand and...Find out more | Download

An Action Plan for Carbon Capture
The EU has set itself on an ambitious pathway to decarbonise its economy by the middle of the century. Achievement of this net-zero climate ambition by 2050 will require the considerable quantities of CO2 emitted by industrial processes to be captured and permanently stored. In addition, CO2 must be captured from the air and from biogenic sources for use as a feedstock to replace products that release greenhouse gases and to compensate for residual emissions. ...Download
