Tentative programme
Seal the deal: advancing industrial carbon management in the Clean Industrial Deal
This year’s Summit comes at a critical moment for European climate and industrial policy.
The proposed 2040 climate target and the foundations of a Clean Industrial Deal sharpen the focus on cutting CO₂ emissions, requiring the large-scale deployment of industrial carbon management.
In this context, the Summit will convene leaders from policy, industry, research, and civil society to inform the next phase of deployment.
