The EU Strategy will outline how such technologies can best contribute to the objective of reaching climate-neutrality for the EU by 2050 and set a strategic vision for industrial carbon management in the EU. The OPC aimed to gather insights from stakeholders on various Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) and Industrial Carbon Removal (ICRs)-related issues regarding a comprehensive EU approach to Industrial Carbon Management, including specific policy recommendations, within the context of the EU Strategy. The report is structured based on four main themes around which the questionnaire responses have been grouped. These are: Relevance of CCS, CCU and/or Industrial Carbon Removals for the EU climate goals, Role of the European Commission in relation to CCS, CCU and/or Industrial Carbon Removals, Main challenges and policy options to address them, and Any other topics. In addition to the analysis of the OPC responses (OPC survey) which are analysed in chapter 2, this report also provides a summary of the written feedback and documents supplied as attachments to the “call for evidence” under the OPC summarised under chapter 3.enCarbon capture and storageCarbon neutralityClean technologyEnergy policyEnergy storageGreenhouse gasReduction of gas emissionsreport
