CCS and CCU should be seen as complementary technologies rather than competitors, forming integral parts of a comprehensive strategy to address climate change. CCS focuses on capturing and reducing emissions directly at their source, while CCU repurposes CO₂ into useful products and resources. Together, these technologies create a synergistic effect, offering a well-rounded solution to cutting carbon emissions, driving economic sustainability, and fostering innovation. We will evaluate:
- Value chain issues, environmental assessments and risks
- Market perspective and collaboration across Europe
- How much storage capacity is there actually there and needed?
- Development of new CCGTs as a balancing and substituting solution for renewable energy
- German FSRUs and how could that change the Baltic LNG supply?
- What can be done to avoid any threat to energy infrastructure?
- Liquidity & funds available - How to attract and structure deal for foreign investments?
- Dr Christoph Riechmann - Executive Director, Frontier Economics
- Arvydas Račkus - Head of Structured Finance Department, Swedbank
