CO2 Capture, Utilisation and Storage / Negative Emissions Technologies

Applications for the 2025 IEAGHG International CCS Summer School are now open!

Taking place from the 13th-19th July 2025, in the International CCS Knowledge Centre, Regina, Canada, this course will cover many facets of the CCUS value chain. This includes topics such as capture, transportation, and storage of CO2, industrial uses of CO2, costs and economics of CCS, regulations, policy, GHG accounting, public communication, health and safety, and much more.

More information on eligibility criteria and application can be found here.

Note that the application deadline is coming up shortly (Jan. 20th).

The SFOE research programme CCUS / NET  promotes innovation of the entire  CO2 value chain, from capture and utilisation in materials or fuels, to transport to storage in the geological subsurface or in long-lived materials. Approaches that lead to negative emissions are of special interest.

As part of the SFOE’s energy research, the CCUS / NET programme primarily focuses on topics that are energy relevant. This includes CCUS and NET topics applied to the energy sector or with a broader relation to energy, i.e. topics that help decarbonise and defossilise the energy and industry sectors (e.g. carbon capture at waste incineration plants, cement plants or in the chemical industry) or reduce the energy and CO2 intensity of specific CCUS technologies or NETs.

A more detailed description of the topics that are supported can be found in the Research Concept CCUS / NET for 2023 – 2028.

The CCUS / NET research programme is the result of the collaboration between the following research programmes, which deal with different aspects of the value chain:

Industrial processes focuses on topics related to CO2capture and utilisation (contact: [e-mail])

Bioenergy focuses on biomass-based NET projects (contact: [e-mail])

Geoenergy focuses on CO2 storage in the geological subsurface (contact: [e-mail])
