As the European Union strives to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, utilizing CO₂ as a resource within a Circular Carbon Economy (CCE) has emerged as a critical strategy. Recent EU policy developments, notably the European Commission’s Industrial Carbon Management Strategy, underscore the importance of CO₂ utilization technologies. These technologies not only play a vital role in reducing emissions but also open up new economic opportunities by transforming CO₂ into valuable products.

This focus groups aims to examine the EU regulatory framework in CO₂ utilization, and identify business opportunities that align with EU climate objectives. The discussion will address the economic viability of CO₂-derived products and examine the crucial role of public-private partnerships in scaling up CO₂ utilization projects. This event will evaluate the impact of the European Commission’s Industrial Carbon Management Strategy and explore the challenges and opportunities in aligning CO₂ utilization with the EU Green Deal objectives. By bringing together industry experts, policymakers, and technical specialists, the event seeks to share insights and foster collaboration on strategies to accelerate the deployment of CO₂ utilization technologies.
