Newsletter – February 2023

This February edition for 2023 gathers news on industrial collaborations showcasing the scale-up and deployment of Carbon Capture and Utilisation technologies, as well as a series of new funding opportunities for CCU projects and events. A particular thank you goes to our Scientific Advisory Committee for their contributions to our two most recent peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide more insight into the merits of and misconceptions about CCU. Take also a look at our participation in important international forums like the World Economic Forum in Davos and the Bio360 Expo 2023 in Nantes. And of course, welcome to the CCU family to our newest members!

Newsletter – November 2022

The November edition brings good news in the area of funding support as the Innovation Fund has published its third large-scale call with a funding budget of €3 billion and we hope to see more CCU projects being awarded soon. On the policy front, is as busy as always with all stakeholders waiting for the announcement of the Carbon Removal Certification Mechanism and the Delegated Acts under REDII... almost as impatiently as Christmas. You are also invited to take a look at our annual event, our CO2 Value Days, and our involvement at further scientific (GHGT16, IPCC & CCU) and policy events (CCUS Forum, MEP Liese press conference) in Europe. Our family of EU projects has a new member with CCUS ZEN, a project aiming at developing CCU/CCS clusters in the Baltic and Mediterranean regions. Finally, we are happy to welcome new members since our September edition as you will see in the member’s corner.
