Untapped potential: linking the CEE region to European CCS initiatives
Authors: Hanna Biro, Mark Preston Aragonès, Lina Strandvåg Nagell, and Michał Wendołowski
Untapped potential: linking the CEE region to European CCS initiatives constitutes a part of a series of documents entitled Integrated Policy Roadmap which crowns the Project’s next phase. This series includes also: Central and Eastern European CCS Roadmap and CCS Regional Cooperation Roadmap for Central and Eastern Europe. All three documents aim to support successful CCS deployment across the Region by presenting a first-of-its-kind policy plan with a range of actions related to CCS that should be taken.
The report offers a systematic collection of European initiatives related to the continent-wide deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies with the aim of offering CCS stakeholders across the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region a thorough overview of EU policy and regulatory initiatives that underpin CCS deployment as well as an outlining CCS-relevant platforms that feed into these initiatives. The report provides insight for industry players, civil society, research Institutions and academia, as well as government-level actors into opportunities for engagement 1) throughout the lifecycle of CCS project development from research and innovation (R&I) to project implementation, and 2) in the process of legislative and policy initiatives, from early-stage consultations to final stages of inter-institutional negotiations.
