By collaborating with industries such as cement, lime, fertilizers, chemicals, aluminum, and steel, the association helps implement CCUS technologies to capture and reduce CO2 emissions directly at the source. This is vital for sectors that are hard to decarbonize through other means.

This directly contributes to lowering the carbon footprint of these industries, aligning with Romania’s and the European Union’s climate neutrality targets that are set by 2050.

The association works with companies that have expertise in oil and gas so we can develop and manage CO2 pipelines and storage facilities. This includes utilizing depleted oil and gas fields for CO2 storage.

Establishing a robust infrastructure for CO2 transport and storage ensures that captured CO2 is safely and effectively stored, preventing it from re-entering the atmosphere. 
 

By engaging with technology companies and service providers, the association fosters the development and deployment of advanced CCUS technologies. 

Continuous innovation in CCUS technologies enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and improves the overall feasibility of large-scale CCUS projects, contributing to more sustainable industrial practices. 
 

Collaboration with universities and research institutes helps the advance of the scientific understanding of CCUS and develop new technologies and methodologies. 

Research initiatives contribute to the development of best practices, improved monitoring and verification techniques, and innovative solutions for CO2 capture, utilization, and storage. 
 

The association works closely with government ministries, agencies, and trade associations to advocate for supportive policies and regulatory frameworks.

Effective regulations and policies are essential for creating a conducive environment for CCUS projects, ensuring safety, environmental protection, and financial viability. 
 

By partnering with NGOs and conducting public awareness campaigns, the association aims to educate the public about the benefits and safety of CCUS technologies. 

Increased public understanding and acceptance are crucial for the successful implementation of CCUS projects, because such projects often face public scrutiny and opposition. 
 

The development of CCUS projects can stimulate economic growth by creating new industries and job opportunities in the fields of technology development, construction, and maintenance. 

This not only supports environmental goals but also contributes to the economic well-being of communities and the country as a whole. 
 

The association’s efforts are aligned with Romania’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and the EU’s climate neutrality targets. 

By integrating CCUS into broader climate strategies, the association ensures that its initiatives contribute to national and regional climate goals, enhancing overall sustainability efforts. 
 

The association engages with similar international organizations and participates in global forums to share knowledge and best practices. 

International collaboration helps accelerate the deployment of CCUS technologies worldwide, leveraging global expertise and resources. 
 

The association’s work supports long-term environmental sustainability by ensuring that CO2 emissions are effectively managed and reduced. 

This contributes to the global effort to combat climate change, protect ecosystems, and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. 

In summary, the Carbon Hub CCUS Association Romania plays a major role in advancing environmental sustainability and climate change mitigation through its

By bringing together diverse stakeholders and focusing on innovation, infrastructure, policy support, and public engagement, the association significantly contributes to reducing CO2 emissions and promoting sustainable industrial practices.
