The European Commission’s CO₂ Transport Package is central to enabling an integrated and competitive EU market for CO₂, supporting the scale-up of industrial carbon management solutions including CCS, CCU, and CDR.

In line with the Industrial Carbon Management Strategy, the EU must deploy significant CO₂ transport infrastructure to connect capture sites with storage or utilisation locations. This will require a coordinated approach across borders, greater regulatory clarity, and strong investment signals. The Net Zero Industry Act reinforces this ambition by establishing an EU market for CO₂ storage services and setting a legally binding target of 50 million tonnes of annual CO₂ injection capacity by 2030.

This meeting is intended as a stakeholders/experts workshop with a small group of invited stakeholders which will brainstorm on the topics to be discussed in the upcoming ERCST’s Paper titled ‘European Commission’s CO₂ Transport Package: Implications for EU Climate Policy’. This initial Focus Group will be followed by a broader Stakeholders Consultation taking place in February 2026.
