From June 16–19, several partners from the COREu project participated in the 13th Trondheim Conference on CO₂ Capture, Transport and Storage (TCCS-13), sharing results developed within the project.

Czechia is taking concrete steps to make Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) part of its climate strategy. Through its NECP and the newly published CCUS Action Plan, the country is setting clear milestones and building a national CCS Platform. This assessment is part of Bellona Europa’s ongoing work in the COREu project, analysing how EU member states plan for climate-neutral industry.

Greece’s updated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) outlines an ambitious strategy to scale up CCS. This country-level analysis is part of a wider series by COREu partner BELLONA, examining how EU Member States plan to achieve climate neutrality.

Consortium partners presented progress from the first project year and discussed next steps based on the feedback.

From the Aegean Sea to the plains of South Moravia, the COREu team is laying the groundwork for safe and effective CO₂ storage. With environmental monitoring campaigns underway in Greece, Czech Republic, Poland, and Ukraine, researchers are mapping the natural geochemical conditions above and around future storage sites. These baseline studies are essential for ensuring long-term safety and transparency in carbon storage projects across Europe.

On March 18th and 19th, 2025, the COREu annual meeting took place in Brussels, bringing together nearly 100 participants from 43 partner organizations across 13 countries. This gathering marked a significant milestone in the project's journey, showcasing the collective achievements and future plans of the consortium.

In January, project partner Glass Futures participated in the CO₂ Capture Connect conference in Pau, France, organized and sponsored by Pôle AVENIA and Genesis.
