The Lithuanian national CCS roadmap was prepared in the framework of the CCS4CEE project. As part of roadmap development, the team consulted with key stakeholders and organized a joint workshop to review the final draft of the CCS roadmap.

The roadmap details the following:

1. Outline of the role CCS has in decarbonization pathways;
2. Summary of opportunities and barriers to the deployment of CCS/CCU in Lithuania from the national report and recent CCS/CCU developments in the country;
3. List of proposed actions to create a favourable environment to test and deploy CCS;
4. Description of potential immediate steps.

A potential immediate no-regret action could be instituting a knowledge platform that would help interested shareholders and the general public access CCS-related information and insights and serve as a place where stakeholders could cooperate and define objectives for the use of CCS. Collaboration is also very important on an international scale.

A full menu of options could be unlocked if the prohibition of storage would be relaxed to at least first allow experiments to evaluate the feasibility and safety of CO₂ storage nationally. If proved safe, storage could be used for industrial applications.
