Recognising the importance of carbon capture and storage technologies to reach climate neutrality

The letter calls for the establishment of an annual EU CCUS Forum, a comprehensive European Strategy for CO2 capture, transport, and storage networks, targeted Innovation Fund support for CDR demonstration projects before 2030, and enhanced Horizon Europe funding to move CO2 technologies from research to industrial deployment.

• The authors advocate for the creation of an annual EU CCUS Forum to coordinate stakeholders and develop topic-specific working groups to ensure the efficient deployment of carbon capture and storage.
• The letter requests a European Strategy for CO2 capture, transport, and storage networks led by DG ENER to provide investor signals and ensure these technologies are integrated into EU policies to overcome deployment barriers.
• The authors argue that permanently removing CO2 from the atmosphere via Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) is necessary for climate neutrality and call for the Innovation Fund to support full-chain 'atmosphere to storage' demonstration projects before 2030.
• The document calls for the European Commission to use Horizon Europe to transition CO2 capture, conversion, and storage innovations from laboratory research to commercial industrial deployment.
