We believe that CCU technologies offer a large panel of solutions to carbon-intensive sectors where no or very few other alternatives exist, e.g. energy, process industry, transport and construction. CCU technologies should not substitute large-scale efforts to prevent greenhouse gas emissions and develop more sober solutions. Instead, all solutions should be combined wisely in considering the timescale of their impact, their mitigation potential based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the most efficient use of energy and resources.

The mission of CO₂ Value Europe is to promote the development and market deployment of sustainable industrial solutions that capture and use carbon in valuable products, in order to contribute to the net reduction of global CO₂ emissions, the substitution of fossil carbon and the increase of circularity in production systems.

The Association and its members only promote CCU solutions that effectively contribute to a net reduction of global CO₂ emissions based on accepted LCA standards. The Scientific Advisory Committee, composed of international academic experts, ensures that the Association’s messages are based on solid and objective scientific evidence.
