1 year

About the Organisation

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and the ability to capture, transport and store or utilise carbon dioxide will be crucial to ensure a sustainable, competitive and equitable transition to a climate-neutral Europe. The CCSA is the trade association accelerating the commercial deployment of Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) through advocacy and collaboration.

Our ambition is to see CCUS developed and deployed at the pace and scale necessary to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and deliver sustainable growth across regions and nations. We represent a wide variety of organisations with an interest in the development and deployment of CCUS across many applications to decarbonise industries, power, and hydrogen production, and remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.
