Carbon Capture & Utilisation in a Renewable Carbon Economy – Session on Innovation, Strategy & Policy

Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) enables the substitution of fossil carbon in sectors where carbon is needed, supports the complete defossilisation of the chemical and feedstock industries, creates a circular economy, reduces the emissions gap, promotes sustainable carbon cycles, fosters innovation, creates local value and stimulates job growth.

CCU is not just a carbon removal technology, the use of CO2 offers multiple solutions to pressing problems of our modern world and can support multiple Sustainable Development Goals if properly implemented. CCU needs more political recognition and support as its relevance as a central pillar for the transformation of the chemical and materials industry is not yet accepted, especially in Europe.

What is the current and future role of CCU in relation to sustainability and certification? What policy frameworks and incentives exist at international and European level to promote CCU? How can we implement a CCU value chain through innovative projects? Learn about the current state and future development of CCU from leading experts in the field: Session on Innovation, Strategy & Policy

The innovation award “Best CO2 Utilisation 2025“ honours innovative products and technologies that highlight the practical and impactful use of CO2. Participants can expect expert presentations, engaging discussions, and opportunities to connect with fellow innovators committed to advancing CCU technologies. The innovation award, sponsored by Yncoris and co-organised by CO2 Value Europe, is one of the highlights of the CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference. Six nominees will be selected by an expert jury beforehand, with winners chosen by the audience during the award ceremony on 29 April 2025.
