Bellona, together with other 29 members of the industrial carbon management community and umbrella organisations, express its support to the inclusion of an Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) in the area of industrial carbon management and in particular CO2 capture, removal, utilisation, transport and storage in the next IPCEI round.
️Industrial carbon management has been recognised as a necessary element in reaching the European Union’s goals for climate neutrality, as well as in helping decarbonise production processed in industrial sectors critical to the European economy, as emphasised by the Commission’s Industrial Carbon Management Strategy (ICMS) and the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA).
The lack of viable business cases and de-risking mechanisms constitute a major obstacle in the development of industrial carbon management in Europe. IPCEIs have a proven track record of accelerating industrial production and unlocking private investment in strategic sectors. The large, cross-border nature of CCUS projects makes the IPCEI instrument well-suited to support infrastructure investments critical for the EU’s climate and industrial goals.

While the Polish Presidency presents an opportunity to address critical challenges, its current priorities fall short of aligning European competitiveness and security with the urgent need for climate action. Bellona’s Roadmap for 2024-2029 calls on the EU to implement ambitious and science-based climate goals to achieve climate neutrality and strengthen EU security. By focusing on industrial decarbonisation, renewable energy integration, transparent climate policy, and green public procurement, the Presidency can lead the EU towards a resilient, competitive, and climate-neutral future. As such, Bellona calls on Poland to implement more concrete and ambitious climate policies and well-functioning markets for a net-zero world.
