Carbon Capture & Storage Europe (CCS Europe) is a non-profit political advocacy and communications campaign body.
Their 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.
CCS Europe's focus is permanent storage of CO2 in geological formations or in materials where CO2 is permanently chemically bound under normal use and disposal.
Membership of CCS Europe is open to organisations working within Europe that demonstrate a public commitment and a credible plan towards achieving emission reductions in line with the Paris agreement.
CCS Europe calls on the European Commission to urgently propose a strategy to advance deployment of carbon capture technologies and CO2 storage on the scale needed to achieve the ambition of climate neutrality no later than 2050. CCS Europe equally calls on European governments to develop national CCS strategies.
Acknowledging the overwhelming support amongst climate scientists for the need to capture and store CO2 in very large quantities, such strategies must recognise, amongst other measures, the need to:
