Brussels, 25 June — Today, the CCSA announces the launch of the European CCUS National Associations Forum, a new informal European Forum designed to enhance cooperation, knowledge‑sharing, and alignment among representatives of European and national CCUS stakeholders. 

Together with nine national associations – including CO2 Hub Europe (Denmark), Club CO2 (France), Carbon Management Allianz (Germany), Deutsche Carbon Management Initiative (Germany), CCUS Innovation (Norway), CCUS Poland Association (Poland), Carbon Hub (Romania), PTECO2 (Spain), Platform Carbon Management (The Netherlands) – the CCSA aims at creating a space for dialogue and knowledge-sharing, helping to align efforts across Brussels and European capitals, and contribute to more effective policy and regulatory frameworks for the deployment of CCUS technologies across Europe.

About the CCSA  
CCUS, or Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage, is a key low carbon solution – vital to meeting the EU’s climate targets. CCUS enables industrial decarbonisation as well as the production of clean power, clean products (such as cement and chemicals) and clean hydrogen – which can also be used to decarbonise industry. In addition, CCUS also enables greenhouse gas removal from the atmosphere through Direct Air Capture with Storage (DACS) or Bioenergy with CCS (BECCS).  

The CCSA is the trade association accelerating the commercial deployment of CCUS, with offices in Belgium and in the UK. We work 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.  

The CCSA currently has over 120 member companies who are active in exploring and developing different applications of carbon capture and removals, CO2 transportation by pipeline and ship, utilisation, geological storage, and other permanent storage solutions, end-users in the power, industry, waste management, fuels, and hydrogen production sectors, plus supply chain, engineering, construction and management, legal and financial consulting sectors.
