Now in its third year, the CO2 Congress organized by the Swiss gas industry is a firmly established event in the calendar. On the 30th September 2026, national and international experts will meet again in Bern to continue the dialogue and discuss issues relating to CO2 capture, utilisation, transport and storage (CCUS).
Building on the discussions and practical solutions that emerged in previous editions, the congress will address the latest developments in this field. In 2026, the focus will again be on facilitating dialogue between politicians, business leaders and scientists, with the shared aim of defining a concrete path towards a net-zero emissions society by 2050. The Confederation's climate policy after 2030 will also be discussed. Consultation on the new CO2 Act and the framework law for the design, construction and operation of CO2 pipelines is scheduled to begin in June 2026. This should include regulatory solutions for CCUS.
While Switzerland continues to focus on increasing efficiency, developing renewable energies and electrification, one thing is clear: some emissions will remain unavoidable. Technologies such as CCUS are therefore essential for achieving climate targets.
The next congress will once again provide a platform for:
Participants will have the opportunity to debate with leading experts the next steps to be taken to achieve net-zero emissions and present concrete solutions.
