2026 programme
How can 'Made in Europe' lead to climate neutrality?
For many energy-intensive industries, scaling industrial carbon management will be essential to cut emissions while maintaining production in Europe.
This panel will explore how stronger markets for low-carbon products can unlock investment in industrial carbon management and turn decarbonisation into a competitive advantage.
Knowledge on industrial carbon management is scattered across hundreds of reports, projects and databases - making it hard to build on.
Discover Europe's new hub that brings that knowledge together.
As Europe reviews its emissions trading system and carbon pricing gains momentum globally, attention is turning to the role of carbon pricing in driving investment and industrial transformation.
This panel will examine how carbon markets can be designed to accelerate and reward industrial decarbonisation while managing both carbon leakage and competitiveness risks.
A well-functioning CO2 market will require clear rules for how infrastructure is planned, financed, accessed and regulated.
This fireside chat will unpack the Commission’s proposed framework and what it means for the development of an integrated, cross-border CO2 value chain.
Replication stalls when first-of-a-kind projects don’t translate into repeatable delivery models.
Hear the lessons learned from the deployment of a leading European industrial carbon management project.
CCS projects depend on the timely and reliable operation of every link in the value chain, leaving operators exposed to risks beyond their direct control.
This presentation will examine how cross-chain risks can be allocated more effectively and how an EU guarantee mechanism could reduce operational exposure.
Bringing CCS projects to investment and operation requires managing a wide range of commercial, regulatory and cross-chain risks.
This panel will explore how policy, contracts and risk-sharing mechanisms can help improve bankability and accelerate project deployment.
Replication stalls when first-of-a-kind projects don’t translate into repeatable delivery models.
Hear the lessons learned from the deployment of a leading European industrial carbon management project.
Hear directly from a major European bank on their approach to financing CCS and carbon removals, where they see the market heading, and how different sources of capital can work together to fund projects at scale.
Replication stalls when first-of-a-kind projects don’t translate into repeatable delivery models.
Hear the lessons learned from the deployment of a leading European industrial carbon management project.
Explore how initiatives such as the EU CRCF Buyers’ Club and a future EU Purchasing Facility can stimulate public and private demand for high-quality carbon removals, provide revenue certainty, and support their contribution to climate targets.
