Advanced Training Carbon Capture, Utilization and Geological Storage (CCUS)

This program aims to debate the most promising strategies for the decarbonization and energy transition.

A group of experts from academia, industrial players and regulators will discus the main challenges in their implementation and current status from industrial players. Also, national and European political and regulatory framework concerning the topic of decarbonization and energy transition will be addressed.
