The Role of Carbon Capture in Decarbonising Energy-Intensive Sectors
When
January 16, 2025, at 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Where
European Parliament
The key challenge facing the EU in the next mandate will be how to reconcile ambitious climate and decarbonisation objectives with European industry's continued international competitiveness. In a few weeks, the European Commission is expected to release its Clean Industrial Deal that will look at the key technologies and policy measures allowing us to achieve this objective.
In this breakfast event co-hosted with CEMBUREAU and sponsored by MEP Sean Kelly (EPP, IE), we will discuss the critical role of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the decarbonisation of Europe’s energy-intensive industries. The event will bring together policymakers and industry leaders to discuss the current state of CCS deployment and ongoing investments in the cement industry and other EU industrial sectors. It will also address the policy measures and funding mechanisms needed to accelerate its adoption in the coming years. We aim to provide valuable insights into how CCS can support the decarbonisation of industrial sectors faced with unavoidable CO2 emissions, contributing to the ongoing discussion on industrial carbon management in the EU's decarbonisation efforts.
Speakers Include:
- MEP Sean Kelly (EPP, IE) (Moderator)
- Koen Coppenholle, Chief Executive at CEMBUREAU
- Rodolphe Nicolle, Chair of the Governing Board of CCS Europe and Secretary-General of the European Lime Association (EuLA)
