CO2 routes across Europe

About COREu

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 aim at the development of 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 infrastructures that enables cross-border cooperation across regions is crucial for reaching net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.

Impact
