As the European Union accelerates its transition to climate neutrality, Carbon Capture and Storage(CCS) has emerged as a vital tool for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. With the revision of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the forthcoming EU framework for CO₂ transport, there is renewed momentum to address how CCS infrastructure can scale across regions—and how policy can reflect that ambition.
Southeastern European countries hold substantial potential for CCS, with Greece emerging as a frontrunner, hosting one of the few offshore storage facilities in Southern Europe and several projects under development. Its strategic location, established Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) infrastructure, Greece is uniquely positioned to enable maritime CO₂ transport and act as a link between EU industry and viable storage options—both within and beyond Europe.
This high-level breakfast will examine how CO₂ transport—particularly by ship—can help unlock cross-border CCS deployment, bridge the gap between emitters and storage capacity, and ensure no region is left behind in Europe’s industrial decarbonisation strategy. The conversation will also address what is needed from regulators to accelerate project development and create a truly European CCS network that includes the Eastern Mediterranean.
