Agenda

“ ”

With European nations aligning around new energy transition initiatives and strengthened legislative frameworks, momentum is accelerating across CCUS and hydrogen project development.

This conference will centre on industrial decarbonisation and the critical role that carbon capture, utilisation & storage and hydrogen production play in delivering it. Discussions will also address the evolving policy and market landscape, including the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), the emergence of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) within the nuclear mix, and the growing role of data centres as both major energy consumers and strategic infrastructure within the future low-carbon energy system.

The 5th 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 350+ government officials, regulators, key industry stake holders, leading academia, and service companies. This will be accompanied alongside a side exhibition of 20+ exhibitors showcasing innovative CCUS and hydrogen technologies and services.

Conference Sessions

Sessions One and Two

Current trajectory assessments suggest that the European Union is not fully on course to meet its 2030 climate and energy targets, with 2035 increasingly emerging as a more attainable milestone under existing delivery frameworks. In this context, the session will critically examine recent legislative and regulatory developments, including implementation gaps, financing mechanisms, and cross-border coordination challenges. It will explore how strengthened policy alignment, industrial competitiveness measures, and accelerated deployment frameworks can reinforce the EU’s decarbonisation pathway and restore credibility in achieving its long-term Net Zero objectives.

This session will provide a strategic update on CCUS and CCS developments across Europe, outlining anticipated FID milestones over the next 18 months within the evolving EU policy framework. It will examine the pathway from FEED to FID under the EU Innovation Fund, TEN-E and the Net-Zero Industry Act, with particular focus on cross-border CO₂ transport networks, shared storage infrastructure, liability frameworks, and third-party access models. The discussion will assess how scalable transport and storage solutions are critical to unlocking industrial decarbonisation and accelerating large-scale CCS deployment across Europe.

Session Three

This session will examine the “U” in CCU, exploring how carbon utilisation can drive new industrial value chains within Europe’s evolving carbon market framework. It will highlight opportunities across sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and energy-from-waste assets operating under emissions trading mechanisms, assessing how CCUS integration enhances asset value and revenue resilience. The discussion will outline where policy-driven demand, carbon credit markets, and scalable utilisation technologies are creating investable growth opportunities across the European industrial landscape.

Sessions One and Two

Hydrogen production is critical to decarbonising hard-to-abate industries where electrification is not feasible. This session explores how projects move from ambition to Final Investment Decision (FID), examining production pathways including blue hydrogen, electrolysis, and nuclear/SMR-powered solutions. We will review CfDs, offtake agreements, and demand aggregation strategies required to create bankable volumes — and how industrial clusters must collaborate to unlock scalable hydrogen deployment.

Networking & Coffee Break

As the competitive landscape continues to evolve, we are seeing the rapid emergence of new industrial sectors with significant power demands and increasingly complex environmental constraints. This session will explore how data centres can play a pivotal role in accelerating the energy transition, examining their energy requirements in comparison with broader electrification trends. Taking a full-ecosystem perspective, we will also highlight how this shift creates strategic opportunities across the SAF and nuclear SMR sectors. You will hear from leading technology companies and industry experts on how the future energy landscape may develop — and what it will take to deliver it.

Sessions Three and Four

As Europe’s power system evolves to integrate multiple energy vectors — alongside the transition of the existing gas network toward hydrogen — the infrastructure landscape is being fundamentally reshaped. This session will examine the development of hydrogen corridors across Europe, assessing how cross-border networks can effectively balance supply and demand. It will also explore how a strong digital backbone — through data integration, smart networks and real-time monitoring — can reduce project costs, enhance operational efficiency, and strengthen environmental oversight across the energy system.

Coffee & Networking Break

Ports across Europe are rapidly emerging as critical enablers of the energy transition, particularly as the new Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) comes into effect and bilateral trade agreements continue to reshape global markets. Alongside this, ports are becoming strategic hubs for the import and export of diverse energy vectors. This session will explore how ports can strengthen global energy security, while responding to growing demand for green energy solutions — including hydrogen and ammonia — positioning themselves at the centre of the new low-carbon economy.
