Webinar 1 - Introducing CCUS ZEN

Tuesday, April 23, 2024 - 14:00 to 15:00
Online

14:00 - 15:00 CEST

CCUS ZEN is exploring the potential for accelerating deployment of CCUS in two regions with lower maturity level for CCUS — the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea — compared to the current development in the North Sea region.

This webinar introduced the CCUS ZEN project, an international partnership that brings together 14 partners with considerable expertise in CCUS, including leading industrial and research organisations, as well as a growing number of network partners from across Europe representing stakeholders along the whole value chain. Project Coordinator Eirik Falck da Silva presented the project work packages and gave an overview of the project objectives that are building a coherent ecosystem of CCUS actors in Europe through cooperation and knowledge sharing between a variety of CCUS stakeholders in three different European regions.
