Thank you for Subscribing to Environmental Business Review Weekly Brief
The Carbon Capture Europe Summit 2026 (#CCES2026) will take place on 11-12 March 2026 at the World Trade Center Rotterdam, bringing together over 600 senior decision-makers from government, industry, and finance to accelerate the commercial deployment of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies across Europe.
Under the theme “From Projects to Market: Scale Up CCUS, Connect Europe,” the summit moves beyond policy frameworks to focus on real-world implementation, investment opportunities, and cross-sector collaboration. Participants will explore strategies to unlock cross-border CO₂ transport and storage capacity, scale CDR (carbon dioxide removal) solutions such as BECCS and DAC, and foster partnerships that support Europe’s transition to a carbon-neutral economy. Leading CCUS Decision-Makers in Attendance CCES2026 will see high-level participation from the EU Commission, CINEA, EBRD, as well as leading industry players including Eni, TotalEnergies, Equinor, Porthos, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Heidelberg Materials, and the Port of Rotterdam, among others. With 80+ executive speakers and a senior audience where 85% are at director level or above, the summit offers an unparalleled platform for organisations to engage with key decision-makers shaping the future of European CCUS deployment. In addition to corporate and policy leaders, attendees will gain insights from investors, technology providers, and infrastructure operators, offering a holistic view of the CCUS ecosystem from project planning to commercial scale-up. Executive Panel Highlight A highlight of the summit will be the panel on hard-to-abate sectors and turning carbon costs into competitive advantage under CBAM. This session will examine how companies can navigate the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, optimise CCUS deployment, and leverage shared infrastructure to manage costs effectively. Panelists include leaders from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Air Liquide, TITAN Group, and ArcelorMittal, sharing lessons from implementing CCUS solutions in challenging industrial contexts and providing practical insights for scaling carbon removal technologies. Additional Sessions and Networking Beyond panels and presentations, CCES2026 will host a range of interactive discussions, technical deep dives, and case study sessions, covering topics such as cross-border CO₂ transport, storage hub development, financing mechanisms, and emerging CCUS technologies. Attendees will also have access to structured networking opportunities, enabling collaboration, partnership building, and deal-making across the CCUS value chain.
