This year, CO₂ Value Europe launched a first-of-a-kind quantitative assessment of the contribution of Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) towards climate neutrality in the EU, the result of a thorough two-year exercise conducted in collaboration with international academic, industrial, technological, and economic experts on CCU, inside and outside our membership. The report showed that by 2050, at least 20% of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction from technologies will come from CCU, with it playing a significant role in steering us towards a sustainable future.
CO₂ Value Europe produced a video that addresses 3 key questions the report answers:
1. How will CCU contribute as a climate-mitigating solution?
2. How much CO₂ can be captured and from where?
3. How will CCU fuels answer the EU’s primary energy demand by 2050?
CCU represents a large set of technologies aiming to create a circular carbon economy. It involves capturing carbon from flue gas or directly from the air, converting it into renewable fuels, chemicals, and materials, and ultimately substituting fossil carbon. We are on a mission to advocate for the “defossilisation” of sectors like chemical, materials, aviation, and maritime transport.
