CO2nnecting Europe Conference – Managing cross-chain risks in CCUS

Posted on: December 16th, 2024 by ccsaEditor

The CCSA is partnering with CO₂ Hub Europe and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the CO₂nnecting Europe Conference – Managing cross-chain risks in CCUS.

The CO₂nnecting Europe Conference 2025 brings together the entire CCS value chain in and around Denmark to tackle a vital question: How do we transition from a public-funded, policy-driven industry to a market-driven value chain that boosts industrial competitiveness and supports Europe’s net-zero ambitions?

Key questions to be explored include:
• How can we scale carbon markets to make the price of CO₂ a real driver for change?
• What is needed to create commercial CO₂ frameworks that ensure economic sustainability?
• How can we build trust and attract investment through public-private partnerships?
• What are the best approaches for cross-border collaboration on CO₂ infrastructure?

With representatives from industry, infrastructure operators, policymakers, and innovators, the conference delivers actionable answers to these challenges. Together, we will shape the development of CCS as a cornerstone of Europe’s green economy.

Accelerating a Europe-wide CO2 storage market

Posted on: November 22nd, 2024 by ccsaEditor

As Europe seeks to bolster its leadership in sustainable industries, developing an integrated CO₂ storage market becomes essential. Facilitating a cross-border CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure through pipelines and shipping can unlock efficiencies, reduce CO₂ storage costs, and make decarbonization solutions more accessible across the EU, EEA and the UK.

This event – in partnership with The Parliament Magazine – will explore the economic and environmental benefits derived from the inclusion of the UK in a connected Europe-wide CO₂ storage market and the key steps needed to align CO₂ storage across borders. The CCSA will present the report ‘Accelerating a Europe-wide CO₂ storage market’ where the economic benefits of creating a Europe-wide CO₂ storage market have been assessed. The study was conducted by several CCSA members with the support of Xodus Group.

When: 4th December, 16:30
Where: European Parliament, Brussels

Agenda:
– 16:30 – 16:45 Welcome and registration
– 16:45 – 16:50 Welcoming remarks by Host, MEP Radan Kanev (EPP, Bulgaria)

– 16:50 – 17:00 Presentation of the CCSA report ‘”Accelrating a Europe-wide CO₂ market”

Stefano Miriello, Head of EU External Affairs at the Carbon Capture & Storage Association
Olivier Mette, Global Advisory Director at Xodus Group

– 17:00 – 17:45 Panel debate with Q&A

Oliva Powis, CEO at Carbon Capture & Storage Association
Carol Paquier, CCS Policy Officer at the French Ministry for Energy Transition
Codie Rossi, Europe Policy Manager for Carbon Capture at Clean Air Task Force. Moderator: Eloise Hardy, Reporter, The Parliament

– 17:45 Closing remarks

Energy Bill Briefing Session

Posted on: May 5th, 2023 by ccsaEditor

The Carbon Capture and Storage Association, Energy Networks Association, and the nine additional members of the Energy Bill Trade Body Coalition holding an exclusive Parliamentary drop-in briefing on the Energy Security Bill on 17^th May.

The Coalition’s purpose is to act as a single source of credible and transparent pan-industry knowledge for Parliamentarians as the Bill progresses through Parliament. As the first dedicated energy legislation in a decade, the Bill is an opportunity to ensure policy and regulation keeps pace with our ever-evolving energy system. While the Bill was in the Lords, the Coalition worked with Peers to push for the need for Ofgem to have an explicit net zero duty, and we were pleased to see an amendment to that effect supported at division. The Coalition will continue to advocate for this as the Bill progresses through the Commons.

The Bill can not only help overcome the unprecedented challenges the sector faces today, but also ensure the country capitalises on the immense opportunities as we transition to net zero. The event, sponsored by David Duguid MP, will be made up of industry experts representing the bodies in the coalition, who will outline their priority asks for the Bill ahead of the Bill’s Second Reading in the Commons and field any questions, with experts joining us from:

Hydrogen UK
The Association for Decentralised Energy
Energy and Utilities Alliance
Nuclear Industry Association
Global Infrastructure Investor Association
The Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology
Renewable UK

CCSA/Net Zero Week 2022 webinar “CCUS and Net Zero – UK and global progress ahead of COP27”

Posted on: July 6th, 2022 by ccsaEditor

On the 7th July, the CCSA hosted a webinar in association with Net Zero Week 2022. This webinar focussed on ‘CCUS and Net Zero – UK and global progress ahead of COP27″

The webinar recording can be found here, and the slides are available below.

Last year at COP26, Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) was at the forefront of many conversations and discussions, with a focus largely on the necessity of industrial CCUS and negative emissions technologies such as Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) and Bioenergy with CCS (BECCS).

Over the past six months there have been a number of developments in CCUS – both in the UK and around the world:

The UK now has a stated ambition for CCUS to deliver the first two CCUS clusters by the mid-2020s with a further two by 2030. To deliver this ambition, the UK Government launched the “CCUS Cluster Sequencing” process which, in October last year, selected the first projects that will be taken forward.

The CCSA published its “CCUS Delivery Plan 2035” in March this year, setting out the CCUS industry’s recommended pathway to deliver the Government’s Net Zero Strategy ambition of storing 50 Million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year by 2035.

And as we turn our attention to COP27 in Egypt in November, it is worth reflecting on global CCUS developments over the last decade and the increased focus on CCUS clusters and networks.

This webinar provided an opportunity to hear from a number of experts on UK and global climate targets and their views on the CCUS roll-out pathway that will be needed to ensure we can meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

We were joined by a number of speakers, including:

Ruth Herbert, Chief Executive, CCSA – Chair and introductory remarks. The CCSA is the trade association promoting the commercial deployment of CCUS. The CCSA works with members, governments and other organisations to ensure CCUS is developed and deployed at the pace and scale necessary to meet net zero goals and deliver sustainable growth across regions and nations.
Noora Al Amer, Senior International Climate Policy Adviser – Global CCS Institute (GCCSI). The Global CCS Institute is an international think tank whose mission is to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS), a vital technology to tackle climate change and provide energy security.
Climate Change Committee (speaker tbc). The Climate Change Committee (CCC) is an independent, statutory body that advises the UK and devolved governments on emissions targets and reports to Parliament on progress made in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The CCC have consistently emphasised the vital role that CCUS must play in meeting the UK’s net zero target. In their report “Net Zero – The UK’s contribution to stopping global warming”, the CCC stated that “CCS is a necessity not an option for reaching net-zero GHG emissions.”
