Project description
A strong stakeholder network on carbon capture, utilisation and storage
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) involves the capture of CO2 from power generation or industrial facilities. This suite of technologies could greatly help meet global energy and climate targets. Supporting the alignment and efficient coordination of stakeholders, including industry, researchers, public authorities and civil society, could boost research and innovation in CCUS and help establish policy priorities at the EU and national levels. The EU-funded SSZEPIWG9 project aims to develop a strong network of CCUS stakeholders by interconnecting and coordinating the activities of the Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) and the Strategic Energy Technologies Plan (SET-Plan) Implementation Plan Working Group 9 on CCUS (IWG9). This collaboration could help establish clear strategies and recommendations on CCUS and build a strong programme for outreach, dissemination and communication.
Objective
Support Stakeholders on Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage of ETIP ZEP and IWG9
The overarching goal of this proposal is to bring together and further develop a strong inclusive network of CCUS stakeholders – effectively interconnecting and coordinating the activities of CCUS European Technology Innovation Platforms (ETIP ZEP) and the CCUS SET Plan Implementation Plan Working Group (IWG9) – to support the development and implementation of the SET Plan.
Supporting the alignment and efficient coordination of stakeholders – including industry, researchers, public authorities, civil society – in order to accelerate the delivery of the CCUS research and innovation (R&I) activities and to progress the emerging policy priorities at EU and national level for the implementation of CCUS, will be crucial over the coming years for Europe to reach the ambitious climate targets for 2030 and 2050.
This will be achieved by efficiently aligning and coordinating the activities of ETIP ZEP and the IWG9 in a joint work programme; establishing networks and other fora to enable the stakeholders to collaborate and coordinate effectively, pooling expertise, experience and resources to address common challenges; engaging also with other programmes and external stakeholders; facilitating engagement and creating greater interaction and cohesion between the different CCUS activities; supporting the CCUS community to develop clear strategies and recommendations; accompanied by a strong continuous programme for outreach, dissemination and communication.
