Project description

The project will study the capture, utilization and storage of CO2 in 8 regions with strategic elements: industrial groups, possible storage of CO2, possible use of CO2 and options for production and use of H2.

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is a range of technologies, which can capture the large volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2) currently emitted to the atmosphere by industrial processes and power generation. The CO2 will be stored permanently in deep geological formations or used to manufacture useful products.

Targets

The International Energy Agency has warned that CCUS technologies are not developing fast enough to meet emissions reduction targets laid out in the Paris Agreement on climate action. CCUS is already operating worldwide and it can be delivered quickly and widely in the member states of Southern and Eastern Europe.
Our project name STRATEGY CCUS derives from our vision to deliver “Strategic planning of Regions and Territories in Europe for low-carbon energy and industry through CCUS Coordination and Support Action”.
