ACT events
The General Assembly 2024 of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) is held at the Austria Center Vienna (ACV) in Vienna, Austria and online, from 14–19 April 2024.
The ACT4 project PERBAS will be present and specifically recommends the session on CO2 sequestration in basalt complexes.
This webinar is organised by the LOUISE project, which aims to reduce the cost of CO2 capture by demonstrating CLC as an innovative method for delivering power and heat from waste-derived fuels, and CO2 ready for storage or utilisation. Find out the programme and register here.
The ACT Cementegrity project will hold a webinar aimed at regulatory authorities (and similar agents) who work on CO2-storage.

We all recognize that the EU Green deal has high ambitions and poses many challenges for the EU industry. The Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) plays an important role in achieving these ambitions. The technology of CCUS has been recognized as one of the technologies that can help industries achieve their targets.
Following a successful CCUS focus group session at the Energy Reinvented Community event in November, whereby we discussed the impact of the NZIA on the CCUS ecosystem, we have decided to discuss this topic again during the next CATO webinar, which will be held on Monday December 11th from 14:00-15:00. More specifically, during the webinar, we will discuss the different topics of the NZIA in more detail. Also, future outlook and funding opportunities from EU/Brussels perspective will be shared.
The agenda will look as follow:
- Introduction by Brigitte Jacobs (CATO Director)
- Details of the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) for players in the CCUS ecosystem by Zoe Kapetaki of TNO
- Update Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) from EU/Brussels perspective by Codie Rossi of Clean Air Task Force.
SCCS (Scottish Carbon Capture Storage) is launching a live-moderated run of its world-leading, free course on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and climate change starting on the 21 November.
The 5-week course, developed and delivered by leading academics at the University of Edinburgh requires no prior knowledge of the subject. The live-moderated run will take place at the same time as COP28, and will empower individuals to understand the vital role of CCS technologies for achieving net zero.
Registration is open for English and Chinese versions of the course on the EdX and Coursera platforms.

Please help us spread the word on your social media channels/newsletter etc and share with your extended networks.
If you require further details don’t hesitate to contact the course organiser, Dr Erika Palfi (erika.palfi@sccs.org.uk).
There will be a very exiting workshop on public acceptance and communication of CCS, including not only the dissemination of the results of the survey from the ENSURE project, but also inviting speakers with abundant experience in public outreach (Klaus Grosfeld, AWI), public perception from the industry viewpoint (Onno van Kessel, Shell), effective communication towards policy makers (Pauline Kruiver, KNMI) and cooperation of research projects with NGO’s (Hanna Biro, Bellona).
The program including information on how to register for the workshop is available here.
The ACT Knowledge Sharing Workshop 2023 takes place in Paris 4-5 October. Please check the invitation where you can find the program and the registration form.
A one-day event with updates on the latest national and international CCS developments,
an interactive workshop addressing the positioning of CCS in the Netherlands with a tour visiting the Energy Cave and the Rijswijk Centre for Sustainable Geo-Energy (RCSG). For more info contact Geeke Wiltink at geeke.wiltink@tno.nl.
You are kindly invited to the joint webinar “Accelerating safe CCS through targeted experimental campaigns - a joint webinar by ACT RETURN, Cementegrity and SHARP”.
During this webinar, three ACT3-funded projects aimed at accelerating safe geological disposal of CO2 will present their progress and expected results. For more information, and to register for the event, please follow the link below.

The Clearwater Clean Energy Conference has drawn attendees from around the globe to Clearwater, Florida, since 1989. This conference provides essential information to power generators who must meet the pressures of energy utilization in the 21st century. This conference has earned a reputation for excellence as one of the premier conferences on energy technologies as it has grown in size and scope since its inception in 1975. Increased demand – coupled with energy security issues and uncertainty in the oil sector – make this conference a must for those involved in all aspects of power generation who must meet the competitive pressures and ongoing environmental concerns. The technical sessions, short courses, and panels offer cutting-edge developments dealing with technical solutions to problems; specific strategies; projects; innovations; industry trends; and/or regulatory compliance will be offered. The program presents an extensive overview of emerging, evolving, and innovative technologies, fuels, and/or equipment in the power generation industry. The conference committee seeks papers from all countries worldwide.

The CLIMIT Programme is Norway’s national programme for research, development and demonstration of CO2 capture and storage technology (CCS). In the summit there will be a presentation of exciting CLIMIT-supported projects, as well as news on other areas of CCS and an update on the Norwegian CCS project, Longship.Read more here
This webinar presents a comparative techno-economic assessment of emerging and close to commercial CO2 capture technologies in the Waste to Energy Sector (amine solvents, membranes and oxy-fired circulating fluidised bed). It also presents a case study of a UK Waste to Energy plant, in terms of energy performance and Life Cycle Assessment. An assessment of the potential for creating negative emissions in the European Waste to Energy Sector will be followed by recommendations for stakeholders and policymakers. There will be an opportunity to ask questions after each talk.
