Policy webinar: Future of Industrial Carbon Management in the EU
The European Union has set ambitious goals for Industrial Carbon Management (ICM) to help achieve deep emissions cuts and maintain the competitiveness of energy-intensive industries. From the North Sea to the Mediterranean and Black Sea, ICM projects are growing but their success depends on targeted policies, adequate funding, and public trust.
The ConsenCUS project (2021–2025) has developed innovative carbon capture and utilisation methods, assessed CO2 storage potential, and examined public perception of ICM. As the project concludes, this webinar will present its key policy findings and engage stakeholders in discussing how ICM can best contribute to Europe’s climate and industrial goals.

About EPG
EPG is an independent, non-profit think tank focused on energy and climate policy in Romania and the European Union. Founded in 2014, EPG operates as a policy research institute primarily financed through competitive grants, philanthropic organisations and, to a limited extent, private sector projects. EPG aims to promote an evidence-based dialogue on how to balance decarbonisation, economic competitiveness and social fairness, engaging decision-makers, industry, and the public.
As part of their work in the ConsenCUS project, EPG experts have written two policy papers about challenges and recommendations for ICM deployment. The most recent policy paper provides input for this second webinar. Interested in our previous webinar? You can watch it here.
