The European think-and-do-tank dedicated to Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU)

We believe that CCU technologies offer a large panel of solutions to reach climate targets in reducing net CO₂ emissions from 4 crucial sectors that are hard to abate: energy, process industry, transport and construction. CCU also has the potential of using CO₂ to replace fossil carbon as feedstock in order to produce an infinite range of products.

Our goal is to make CCU become a key pillar of the transition to a sustainable economy in creating an integrated vision and action plan to develop CCU into a new industrial sector.

Our Actions:
• Create a collective intelligence and raise awareness on CCU.
• Connect partners and support the development of projects from the pilot and demonstration phases to the upscaling.
• Advocate for favourable regulatory framework and market incentives to create the CCU industry of tomorrow.
• Develop industry standards and rules across the entire CCU value chain.

Descriptif / The Story

Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) is a diverse set of technologies that allow for the capture and use of carbon dioxide (CO2) as a carbon feedstock for making everyday products such as fuels, chemicals and building materials that are currently predominantly derived from fossil resources. Such technologies are at various stages of development and some are already commercially available today.

CCU has three main positive effects:

• It contributes to reaching global climate goals.

• It broadens the carbon feedstock base needed for growing societies.

• It enables the development of a circular carbon economy where Europe could take a leadership position.

Europe is at a crossroads on climate change policies, and so is Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU), defined as all innovative industrial processes aiming to capture CO2 from flue gases or from the air and transform it into products such as synthetic fuels, chemicals and building materials.

CCU is high on the EU agenda, with proposed legislations aiming to reduce Europe’s CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030 (‘Fit-for-55’) now under discussion: they will directly impact CCU deployment, from its definition in current laws (e.g. current directive on renewable energy – REDII, EU taxonomy) and promotion as a means to reduce emissions from industries via new targets and quotas (future EU directive on renewable energy – REDIII, FuelEU Maritime, ReFuelEU Aviation) to the way CCU products are exempted in the Energy Taxation Directive and incentivised via ETS emissions mechanisms and carbon removal certifications. All those initiatives and instruments will be impacting directly the way that CCU projects can be deployed across Europe.

In this session, hear from a panel of policy and technology experts in CCU pioneering biobased CCU, biogas-biomethane CCU, industrial emissions CCU and waste-to-energy CCU as they discuss some of their flagship projects and provide an insight of future developments.
