For Europe to realize its climate objectives and lead in clean technology, a solid regulatory framework for CO2 transport is crucial. Current projects like Porthos and Greensand highlight the potential of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS).

However, to transition from isolated initiatives to a unified network, Europe must develop comprehensive regulations that ensure investment certainty, harmonize standards, and facilitate cross-border cooperation. As the EU aims for significant CO2 reduction targets by 2030, addressing infrastructure needs and legal barriers becomes essential for competitive industrial decarbonization.
