The 3rd Europe CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation Summit

Tuesday 8th & Wednesday 9th October 2024 @ Thon Hotel Brussels Belgium

“ The energy sector has changed dramatically since the coronavirus; and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 fuelled an energy crisis and stoked concerns over future energy security. The European Commission in December 2022 released its European Green Deal which address the need to accelerate decarbonisation across the EU they have set a target by 2023 to reduce carbon emissions by an additional 55% and they aim to be the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. ”

The energy sector has changed dramatically since the coronavirus; and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in
February 2022 fuelled an energy crisis and stoked concerns over future energy security. The
European Commission in December 2022 released its European Green Deal which address the need to
accelerate decarbonisation across the EU they have set a target by 2023 to reduce carbon emissions
by an additional 55% and they aim to be the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.

The 3rd Europe CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation Sumit will assess and review the opportunities
within the EU Energy Sector and review the different hydrogen road maps set out by the European
Commission and different European Countries. We will review how green hydrogen can ensure of
energy security for each, while hitting decarbonising matrixes. The conference will also review how
CCU & CCUS can decarbonise the energy intensive sectors that are hard to decarbonise while
creating a circular carbon economy.

The 3rd Europe CCUS & Hydrogen Decarbonisation Summit will focus on the implementation of CCS
& CCUS within industrial operations and how hydrogen can decarbonise industry and transport. The
summit will bring together 300+ government officials, regulators, key industry stake holders, leading
academia, and service companies

With energy prices and security at the forefront of every country’s mind now this session will review the EU long term energy strategy, discuss the European Green Deal to the ensure their 2030 and 2050 target commitments are still on track.

With CCS and CCUS playing an important role in reducing carbon emissions in the power sector, CCS is the only current option to substantially decarbonise emissions intensive sectors. This session will discuss how the European Green Deal has accelerated investment within CCS & CCUS and look how different technologies can play and important role to decarbonise the energy intensive sectors industry. You will hear from end users on how they plan to utilise these technologies to reduce their carbon emissions across the hard to abate sectors.
