How European CO2 Transport and Storage Infrastructure can enable an Innovative Industrial Transition

CO2 Value Members Engie and Sunfire presented CCU projects (production of low-carbon methane and transportation fuels) at ZEP conference that took place at the European Parliament on 28 January in Brussels.

This event provided fresh perspectives on how a European CO2 infrastructure can enable the industrial transition towards net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss the role of CCUS technologies in achieving this goal.

Dutch MEP Tom Berendsen, shadow rapporteur for the European Parliament own-initiative report on “A new long-term strategy for Europe’s industrial future”, hosted the event. The discussions was followed by presentations of ground-breaking European CCUS projects and a networking reception.
