Europe has launched its first cross-border carbon capture and storage project at a fertiliser plant in the Netherlands, aiming to liquefy 800,000 tonnes of CO2 annually and transport it to Norway for underground storage, supporting EU climate targets despite challenges in renewable energy adoption and industrial emissions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Europe just made carbon capture a practical cross-border operation with long-term industrial storage. You can now build solutions that feed into this new CO2 transport network or target industries like fertiliser and chemicals that must cut emissions without losing output.
