Europe is entering a decisive phase for carbon capture and storage (CCS). Policy momentum is growing, industrial actors are announcing capture projects across multiple sectors, and cross-border transport and storage infrastructure is being planned. However, as deployment accelerates, industry discussions keep circling back to two questions: Is the lack of CO₂ storage capacity the main bottleneck? How much of the challenge lies elsewhereContinue reading “Is CO₂ storage the main bottleneck? A value chain reality check on scaling CCS in Europe”

The latest trends shaping industrial carbon management: Insights from the Projects Network 2026
Last month, Carbon Management Europe organised its Projects Network during the Knowledge Sharing Summit in Norway. The event brought together more than 450 participants to discuss the operational and commercial realities of scaling industrial carbon management across Europe. One message emerged clearly throughout the summit: the main challenges are no longer limited to proving carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Increasingly, theContinue reading “The latest trends shaping industrial carbon management: Insights from the Projects Network 2026 “
CO₂ storage monitoring: technologies and lessons learned
CO₂ storage monitoring was the focus of a workshop hosted on 31 January 2025 in Brussels. Hosted by the Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) and the European Commission, it convened 140+ experts from industry, research, and over 20 public authorities to share practical guidance on CO₂ storage monitoring, permitting, and operations. The goal: help competent authoritiesContinue reading “CO₂ storage monitoring: technologies and lessons learned”
