About COREu
The Horizon Europe project COREu will set the path for a successful expansion of CCS technology and brings together over 40 key partners from industry and science.
The project will develop new demonstration projects connecting CO2 sources with potential storage sites.
The development of regional CCUS clusters and their connection to European CO2 transport and storage infrastructure will enable
cross-border cooperation across regions, which is crucial for reaching net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.
Impact
COREu will contribute to 6.8 Mt/yr in CO2 reduction by 2035 and 36 Mt/yr by 2050 in order to support the net zero emission goal.
COREu will develop 8 innovations for measurement, monitoring and verification (MMV), interoperability and value chain monitoring.
COREu will improve the internal rate of return of CO2 infrastructure investment by 6% through de-risking core technologies.
Objectives
COREu aims to establish an openly accessible, cross-border infrastructure and logistics network for CCS, connecting emitters and storage sites across Europe. Its objectives include:
Accelerate CCS deployment by demonstrating safe and effective CO2 transport and storage.
Increase the TRL of the CCS technologies developed.
Achieving a more efficient, clean, sustainable, secure, and competitive energy supply through new solutions for smart grids and energy systems based on more performant renewable energy solutions.
Develop improved CO2 stream specifications for the demo, facilitating open-access transport, by targeted analysis and experiments.
Provide experimental data, new methods and tools for safe design and risk assessment of CO2 transport.
Provide experimental data and develop tools to de-risk and optimize CO2 storage.
Support the deployment of multimodal, open-access CO2 transport by experimental data, validated models and engineering design.
Facilitate the safe operations of, and enable revenues and credits allocation in, CO2 transportation networks by by advancing metering and analysis technologies.
Develop a standard methodology for strengthening social acceptance of CCS technologies.
Monitor, prevent and reduce the environmental impact of transport and storage deployment.
Contribute to create a positive momentum for CCS across E, by mobilizing impacting stakeholders (beyond consortium) & offering an innovative setting for collaborative engagement, resulting in accelerated deployment of safe, sustainable and resilient CCS routes in Europe.
