The October edition of our newsletter is here, only a few days after our annual event, CO2 Value Days and General Assembly, in Grenoble, France, where more than 150 experts from the CCU community gathered to exchange about the latest developments in the CCU field and initiate new collaborations. It was wonderful to see the growth of the CO2 Value Europe community within just one year, a signal of the importance stakeholders along the value chain have to CCU. I reaffirmed this a few days later during the Industrial Carbon Management Forum plenary in Pau, France, where I had the opportunity to present the progress of the Working Group on CCU, which we are co-chairing as mandated by the European Commission, to hundreds of stakeholders in-person and many more online.
With the new Commission nearly in place, we expect continued dedication to achieving the goals of the Green Deal, with a stronger emphasis on maintaining industrial competitiveness. We will continue to showcase CCU’s contribution to both the Green Deal and industrial competitiveness, including in emerging policy areas such as incentivising captured carbon as an alternative feedstock for chemicals.
In this edition, you are invited to look at the latest topics of the 2024 Horizon Europe Work Programmes (closing in February 2025) and prepare for the new wave of calls in the Innovation Fund, expected in early December. Please also consider the list of interesting events for the next months where our members can benefit from preferential rates.
As always, a warm welcome to our new members who are helping us raise the voice of the CCU community.
