Carbon Capture & Storage Europe

Mission & Goals

CCS Europe exists to impress the urgency of the situation upon policymakers at EU and national levels. Our objective is to secure recognition by policymakers and citizens across Europe of the urgent need to deploy carbon capture technologies to curb CO2 emissions from energy-intensive and industrial sources that are hard to decarbonise by other means, and to achieve negative emissions by removing CO2 directly from the atmosphere or from sustainable biogenic sources. Our focus is permanent storage of CO2 in geological formations or in materials where CO2 is permanently chemically bound under normal use and disposal. CCS Europe will work to promote the introduction of regulatory and financial measures that can stimulate the necessary investment by business and public authorities.
