STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN 12: a fast-evolving Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) landscape
We are delighted to release the twelfth strategic intelligence bulletin.
As the PyroCO2 project enters its final demonstration phase, staying informed on the fast-evolving Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) landscape is more critical than ever for turning industrial CO₂ into real market value. This 12th Strategic Intelligence Bulletin is designed precisely for that purpose: to give project partners, researchers, and companies a concise, up-to-date overview of the opportunities, risks, and enablers shaping CCU in Europe and beyond.
Why read this bulletin carefully?
- You are at a pivotal moment for CCU deployment. Globally, hundreds of CCUS projects are now in the pipeline, with Europe playing a leading role supported by strategic planning and institutional readiness. PyroCO2 itself is moving from concept to large-scale pilot, with a new facility in Norway dedicated to producing acetone from industrial CO₂ and renewable hydrogen.
- The regulatory and policy context is changing quickly. New legislation, funding programmes, and market mechanisms are redefining what is viable for CCU business cases, from carbon accounting rules to Green Deal-aligned support schemes.
- Technology and market intelligence directly impact your decisions. The bulletin synthesises technology watch, EU-funded project updates, events, and policy developments so you can spot collaboration opportunities, anticipate constraints, and align your R&D or investment strategies with the most relevant trends.
