Project goal: developing strategic plans for the development of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies in Eastern and Central Europe over the following time horizons: short (up to 3 years), medium (3-10 years) and long (over 10 years). This will involve the preparation of local development plans and business models for 8 selected start-up regions located in 7 European countries – Spain, France, Greece, Portugal, Croatia, Romania and Poland – which are responsible for 45% of the carbon dioxide emissions produced in Europe's industry and power generation. Plans for carbon dioxide transport channels between local industrial CCUS clusters as well as connections with a CCUS infrastructure in the area of the North Sea will be prepared in order to establish a pan-European CCUS infrastructure.
Start-up regions identified as part of project STRATEGY CCUS:
The Paris Basin in France (including the Le Havre CCS cluster involved in SET-Plan Action 9, Dunkirk, the Paris urban area and the rural area of Orléans)
The Rhône valley in France (including the Fos-Berre / Marseille CCU cluster encompassed by SET-Plan Action 9 (as a flagship project), and the Lyon metropolitan area)
The Ebro Basin in Spain (including the industrial area of Tarragona, and the areas of North Castellón and North Teruel)
The Lusitanian Basin in Portugal (including CO2 sources on the Leiria-Figueira da Foz axis, extending towards the industrial region of Lisbon)
Northern Croatia (including Zagreb and the Croatian part of the Pannonian Basin)
The area of Galați in Romania (including Galați, the harbour city on the Danube, and its surroundings)
Western Macedonia in Greece (including the industrial areas of Kozani and Ptolemaida)
Upper Silesia in Poland (including the industrial areas of Katowice, Rybnik and Będzin)
