The CCUS ZEN project aims to accelerate the deployment of CCUS technology throughout Europe through cooperation and knowledge sharing between a variety of CCUS stakeholders in three different European regions: the North Sea, Baltic Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. The project has five objectives: (1) to map and understand emission sources, transport corridors, and storage capacity in the selected regions, (2) to identify and involve relevant end users, public authorities, and societal stakeholders and analyze their concerns and needs, (3) to elaborate detailed plans for the integration of CCUS in hubs and clusters linked to CO2 storage sites, (4) to perform initial impact assessments and develop local business models for delivery of CO2 capture, transport, utilization, and storage, and (5) to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and know-how across CCUS projects.
To achieve these objectives, the project will leverage the experience and best practices of CCUS projects in the North Sea region, which is currently more mature in CCUS development than the Baltic Sea and Mediterranean Sea regions. The project consortium consists of 15 partners, including two associations with over 400 members in total, and 30 networking partners representing industry, research organizations, associations, clusters, ports, and municipalities involved in the development and deployment of CCUS value chains.
The project will create a high-level database for the two CCUS ZEN regions, including information about emission sources, utilization industry, storage sites, and existing infrastructure relevant to the transportation of CO2. Geographical clusters of emission sources, relevant geological storage sites, and potential utilization industry will be identified, and at least four CCUS value chains in each CCUS ZEN region will be described.
The project will also involve relevant end-users, public authorities, and societal stakeholders and analyze their concerns and needs using appropriate techniques and methods from the social sciences and humanities. The potential for integrating renewables and hydrogen sources will be considered for the selected clusters.
Detailed plans for the integration of CCUS in hubs and clusters linked to CO2 storage sites via hubs, pipeline networks, and shipping routes will be elaborated, and the most promising CCUS value chain in each CCUS ZEN region will be identified based on SWOT analyses.
The project will also perform initial impact assessments and develop local business models for delivery of CO2 capture, transport, utilization, and/or storage, including the separation of responsibilities across the CO2 value chain. Finally, the project will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and know-how across CCUS projects and networks, and establish and maintain a virtual service center with information and results from the project.
The target group of the CCUS ZEN project includes a wide range of stakeholders involved in developing and deploying Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technology in Europe. This includes industry, research institutions, associations, clusters, ports, municipalities, and public authorities. The project aims to facilitate mutual, continuous learning and knowledge sharing between these different stakeholders, and to build a coherent ecosystem of CCUS actors in Europe capable of delivering the necessary contribution to European climate policy. The project also aims to involve end-users, public authorities, and societal stakeholders in analyzing their concerns and needs related to CCUS deployment.
