The Carbon Capture Technology Conference & Expo

Advancing The Transition To Negative Carbon Emissions

Since the beginning of the industrial era, carbon dioxide levels in the Earth’s atmosphere have increased significantly. Tackling climate change is one the biggest global challenges that requires immediate action and many industrial sectors are now looking to new technology to help meet net-zero emission targets. Research conducted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that carbon capture is an essential technology in the fight to mitigate climate change.

We would like to invite you to join the online-event. Get insights about the latest developments of the funded projects on CO2-utilization and learn what we can expect in the short and long term!

The conference language is english, the participation is free of charge.

Supporting Europe's 2050 climate targets through Carbon Capture and Storage

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) will have a key role to play in Europe’s industrial transition towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. CCS are proven, cost-efficient technologies, that are available now and necessary for Europe to reach its target of net-zero emissions by 2050.

North-South-East-West: building political support for CCS and CCU in Europe

Carbon Capture Storage and/or Utilisation (CCUS) is increasingly being acknowledged as a necessary tool to achieve the decarbonisation of the European economy by 2050. CCUS technologies have a role to play in facilitating the Just Transition, enabling skilled jobs in high-emitting industries to be retained, and allowing workers in oil and gas to apply their skills in the CO₂ transport and storage sector. At the moment, the majority of mature CCUS projects in Europe have been developed in Northern and Western European countries.

Innovation Fund: Lessons learnt from the applications to the 2020 calls

On 28 April, the Commission is organising an online event on first two calls for projects launched in 2020 under the Innovation Fund.

The event will provide an overview of the project applications invited to the second stage of the large-scale call, and present lessons learnt and best practices. It will also provide an overview of the applications received for the small-scale call and present the results of the applicants’ survey on the application process. Finally, it will give an outlook on the second round of Innovation Fund calls planned for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Opportunities in CCS: Finding Government Funding and Business Partners

Global CCS Institute

9:00 am Washington DC (EST) / 14:00 pm London (GMT) / 15:00 pm Brussels (CET)

2021 could well be The Year of CCS. The growth in CCS projects is being driven by many factors: an increasing realization of the dangers of climate change, an acknowledge of the important role CCS plays in net-zero scenarios, decarbonization commitments from governments and business, and increased financial investment from both.

GHGT-15

15-18 March 2021 (CET +3)

GHGT-15 is a focal point for international research on CO2 capture and storage and features an extensive programme of keynote talks, research presentations and posters, and panel discussions. The event, which is held every two years, will be held online this year due to Covid-19 and will also include a virtual Exhibition Hall.

GHGT-15 AGENDA

The role of CCS in the Green Deal - Webinar by Clean Energy Ministerial CCUS Initiative

The EU Green Deal expects that the European economy becomes climate neutral by 2050, and a 55% reduction of greenhouse gases is required by 2030 in the associated Climate Target Plan. There is a broad agreement across public, stakeholder and international analyses of EU decarbonisation pathways that CCS will be needed at scale to decarbonise energy intensive industries - some of those also suggest that blue hydrogen will play an important role in the coming decades.

EU Industry Week: CCS and Reaching Net-Zero Targets in Europe

NB: Time shown is GMT LONDON (14:00 BRUSSELS, 08:00 WASHINGTON D.C)

Overview

The European Commission will be hosting EU Industry Week, and the Global CCS Institute is excited to take part. The Institute will be holding a webinar to discuss Europe’s 2050 net-zero target and the role CCS will play in decarbonising industry.

Green Recovery: CCUS to support green jobs in industry

Covid-19 has shown that governments can take rapid, decisive and unprecedented measures in the face of a looming threat, and this has prompted calls to use investment to ‘build back better’ as countries recover. This event was about exploring the role of carbon capture storage and/or utilisation (CCUS) in both the just transition to a net-zero Europe, and a green recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
