The 2020s will be a critical decade to set Europe on the right track to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) will play an important role in this effort. It is therefore crucial that CCS and CCU are developed, deployed and scaled up during this decade...

CCUS SET-Plan acknowledges the importance of the development of CO2 transport infrastructure, including clusters of CO2 sources and shared, cross-border CO2 infrastructure. Going towards this direction, AB Klaipedos Nafta, Larvik Shipping AS and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. are commencing a feasibility study...

In alignment with target 2 of CCUS SET-Plan Implementation Plan targets, which is the delivery of CCS project operating in the power sector, the Keadby Carbon Capture Power Station would become one of the UK’s first...

CCUS SET-Plan is monitoring funding opportunities that are aiming at the deployment of CCUS technologies. In this context, the ECCSELERATE project is about to launch in September 2021 two calls offering funding to access ECCSEL ERIC’s world-class CCUS research infrastructure...

Aligned with the targets of CCUS SET-Plan to deploy Bio-CCS technologies by 2030, this joint project will see Drax license Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ carbon capture solvent to capture CO2 at its power station...

CCUS SET-Plan promotes R&I activities that contribute to the deployment of CCS and CCU in the EU. The Horizon 2020 project FReSMe combines an innovative CO2 capture technology with an advanced methanol synthesis process...

CCUS SET-Plan is monitoring funding opportunities for the deployment of CCUS technologies. The European Commission and Breakthrough Energy have recently announced the Catalyst Partnership...

Mission Innovation (MI) is a global initiative that gathers 22 countries and the European Commission to catalyse the action and investments in research, development and demonstration to make clean energy affordable and accessible...

The International Energy Agency roadmap lays down a pathway for the global energy sector to reach net-zero by 2050. The report identifies CCUS as one of the key pillars to decarbonise energy systems...
