Non-members can engage with Carbon Management Europe in a limited and structured way.

Carbon Management Europe’s working groups and strategic governance meetings, where positions and outputs are developed, are reserved for members. To support openness and knowledge sharing, Carbon Management Europe also organises public webinars and events that are open to the wider carbon management community. Members and working group co-chairs help shape the agendas of these open activities.

Carbon Management Europe also collaborates with external organisations and institutions on events and knowledge-sharing initiatives. These partnerships are not contingent on membership, but only members contribute directly to the development and approval of Carbon Management Europe’s official outputs.

No. Carbon Management Europe does not develop, own or operate projects. Its role is to support enabling policy frameworks, knowledge sharing and coordination to facilitate the deployment of industrial carbon management across Europe

Members contribute primarily through Carbon Management Europe’s Advisory Council and expert working groups.

Through regular meetings and structured collaboration, members inform strategic discussions, help define priorities, and co-develop reports, policy briefs, and recommendations addressed to EU institutions, national governments, and other stakeholders.

Carbon Management Europe’s work is steered by a Chair and five Vice-Chairs, who represent the different constituencies and ensure that a wide range of perspectives is reflected. Working group co-chairs provide subject-matter leadership on specific topics – policy, technology, finance, carbon dioxide removals – ensuring the quality of Carbon Management Europe’s outputs.

Carbon Management Europe’s positions and outputs are developed through structured governance processes and expert working groups involving its members.

Members collectively discuss priorities, assess evidence, and contribute to draft outputs within Carbon Management Europe’s working groups and governance bodies. The five constituencies – energy companies, industrial companies, civil society organisations, academic and research organisations, and technology, infrastructure and finance – ensure that Carbon Management Europe’s outputs reflect a balanced, evidence-based consensus across the value chain.

Carbon Management Europe does not endorse or represent the individual positions of its members. All publications, policy contributions, and recommendations are jointly developed and agreed upon through Carbon Management Europe’s governance framework. Differing views are addressed transparently, potential conflicts of interest are managed through clear procedures, and all outputs are grounded in technical rigour and alignment with the European Union’s climate objectives.

Carbon Management Europe participates in, or coordinates projects which are directly related to its work, including supporting the ETIP Carbon Management under the SET Plan. They are typically developed within or alongside working groups and focus on addressing specific topics, regions or policy questions.
