In this webinar, we will explore how CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure is being regulated across Europe, focusing on its importance for scaling carbon capture and storage (CCS) and enabling industrial decarbonisation. We will address the growing need for coordinated infrastructure and discuss the financial and policy drivers shaping investment decisions. Through case studies in different EU countries, we will compare different regulatory approaches and evaluates their strengths and challenges. This webinar is highly relevant given the upcoming CO₂ Infrastructure & Markets regulatory package, expected to be proposed by the European Commission in Q4 this year.

COREu is one of the largest research and innovation project in the field of carbon capture and storage (CCS) funded by a European programme. Its goal is to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future, targeting a reduction of 6.8 Mt/year of CO2 by 2035 and 36 Mt/year by 2050. This will be achieved by demonstrating key technologies across the entire CCS value chain in Europe. The project aims to develop new demonstration projects that connect CO2 sources with potential storage sites. The project has received funding from the European Union's HE research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101136217.

The COREu Lunch&Learn webinar series offers short, focused sessions presenting key insights from the project and its experts on carbon capture and storage (CCS). Aimed at researchers, industry, the wider public, and other stakeholders, the webinars provide science-based, accessible input on topics such as CCS deployment routes, social acceptance, business models, and policy frameworks. Designed for busy schedules, each session delivers concise knowledge without the need for active participation, just clear, expert-driven content to support informed decision-making and build momentum for safe, sustainable, and socially accepted CCS across Europe.
