Open Letter calling for multiple transport modalities for CO2 transport to be included in the Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T) Regulation

February 14, 2023 Category: Policy, Transportation Work Area: Carbon Capture

Over 20 organisations call for multiple transport modalities for CO2 transport to be included in the Trans-European Transport Networks (TEN-T) Regulation.

“Carbon capture, removal and storage will play a critical role in the EU reaching climate neutrality by 2050. However a key barrier to achieving this remains access to CO2 transport networks.”Eadbhard Pernot, CATF 

“A continuance of only recognising CO2 transport via pipelines as possible Projects of Common Interest sends negative market signals and misses a great opportunity to spark wide-scale market development key to decarbonise. We must ensure equal opportunities for decarbonisation across Europe, including smaller emitters located far from storage sites. TEN-T recognition of ship, rail, barge and truck transport CO2 to storage is a key piece of the puzzle for Europe to reach net-zero by 2050.” – Lina Strandvåg Nagell, Bellona
