With the decarbonisation of the global economy as one of the greatest challenges of our times, the cement industry is focusing strongly on the mitigation of its CO₂ emissions. Among the many technologies available, carbon capture is set to play a major role with its two options of storage or utilisation of CO₂, both of which have featured strongly in ECRA’s research work.
At the second international conference on CO₂ infrastructures, ECRA and CEMBUREAU brought together representatives of the cement industry and stakeholders who carry responsibility for building and operating CO₂ infrastructures, along with policy makers who will set the respective legal framework. More than 550 participants from all over the world registered for the conference to exchange views on the many aspects of CO₂ transport and the practical implementation of CCS and CCU. The conference was a crucial forum for bringing together the international players involved and promoting the development of a CO₂ transport infrastructure to achieve climate neutrality by 2045.
Key topics:
- Emerging CCUS projects and CO₂ transport schemes
- Pipelines as a backbone for CO₂ infrastructures
- Regional project experiences
- Political and societal perspectives
