Europe’s carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) market is advancing into a decisive stage—beyond policy design and into large-scale deployment and regional integration. With frameworks such as the EU Industrial Carbon Management Strategy, CO₂ storage regulations, and the Connecting Europe Facility providing a strong foundation, the focus now shifts to implementation: enabling cross-border CO₂ transport and storage, scaling commercial models for infrastructure operations, and fostering collaboration among industrial clusters across regions. At the same time, Europe must accelerate technological pathways including BECCS, DAC, and carbon farming, while driving innovation and investment strategies that will anchor a resilient, competitive, and scalable CCUS ecosystem.
The Carbon Capture Europe Summit 2026 (#CCES2026), taking place on 11–12 March at the World Trade Center Rotterdam, will convene over 600 senior executives and decision-makers from government, industry, and finance. Together, they will address Europe’s strategic priorities—integrating regulatory frameworks, unlocking new transport and storage capacity, scaling CDR solutions, and catalyzing innovation—to accelerate the continent’s transition toward a carbon-neutral future.
