Europe is entering a decisive phase for carbon capture and storage (CCS). Policy momentum is growing, industrial actors are announcing capture projects across multiple sectors, and new transport and storage infrastructure is being planned.
Yet a key question continues to shape discussions across the industry: will sufficient CO2 storage capacity be ready to match the rapidly growing pipeline of capture projects?
While some claim that storage capacity and permitting timelines risk becoming the main bottleneck, others suggest the opposite: that storage projects cannot advance without firmer capture commitments.
This session will bring together actors from across the CCS value chain to test assumptions and examine where the real bottlenecks lie in scaling CCS across Europe. The goal of the session is to provide a clear, reality-based discussion of CCS deployment constraints, drawing on both data and practical project experience.
