Summary
The signatories argue that including rail, ship, barge, and truck transport for CO2 in the TEN-T regulation is essential for decarbonising industrial sectors and reducing investor risk.
Key insights
- The signatories advocate for the inclusion of diverse and flexible CO2 transport modes—specifically rail, ship, barge, and truck—within the TEN-T regulation to support the goal of EU climate neutrality by 2050.
- CO2 capture, transport, and storage are described as vital for decarbonising industrial sectors with few alternatives, including steel, chemicals, lime, cement, and waste-to-energy plants.
- While pipeline transport can qualify as “Projects of Common Interest” under the TEN-E Regulation, the authors note that all four carbon capture and storage projects funded by the EU’s Innovation Fund plan to use non-pipeline modalities like shipping.
- Non-pipeline transport modalities are considered crucial for market development because they offer lower costs and higher flexibility, which is especially important for smaller emitters located far from storage sites or pipelines.
- The letter argues that extending the TEN-T Regulation's scope to include various CO2 transport modes would reduce perceived investor risk and increase synergies with the TEN-E Regulation.
