Event Information

The biogases sector is expected to lead bio-CO2 capture in Europe by 2027 according to latest EBA data. By 2040, the technical potential for biogenic carbon capture from biomethane plants in the EU could reach 89 million tons of CO₂ annually. This represents a substantial contribution to the EU’s overall carbon capture target of 344 million tons per year.

As Europe accelerates its journey toward climate neutrality, the capture and utilisation of biogenic CO₂ from biomethane is emerging as a critical solution not only to reduce emissions, but also to enhance energy security and foster industrial competitiveness. This homegrown carbon source offers a strategic lever to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors, deliver negative emissions, and develop new value chains for a circular, climate-resilient economy.

This webinar will bring together experts from the International Energy Agency, leading carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) operators, and carbon market players to discuss how Europe can harness this underutilised resource in line with EU climate and industrial competitiveness goals.

The webinar will cover:

• The status and outlook of bio-CO₂ capture from biomethane

• Market pathways: CCU, CCS, e-fuels, and green chemicals

• Quality, infrastructure, and certification challenges

• Alignment with EU priorities
