Switzerland aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. However, not all greenhouse gas emissions can be avoided, which is why measures are needed to capture, transport, use or permanently store CO2 . Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage, or CCUS for short, is the technical term for this. CCUS is a combination of various technologies and processes to reduce CO2 emissions. These can then be further processed or stored permanently. The development of a CCUS system in Switzerland raises many unanswered questions and is a decades-long project.
Together with its partners from the private sector, cemsuisse, scienceindustries, IGEB, economiesuisse and swissmen, the Association of the Swiss Gas Industry is launching the second Swiss CO2 Congress on 26 August 2025. This event will provide a platform for practitioners, businesses, scientists, politicians and administrators to exchange ideas. While the first event, which was held in 2024, focused primarily on European perspectives, this year we are broadening the scope. We are delighted to welcome high-profile guests and speakers from Canada and Norway, who will share their experiences, technologies and visions with us.
We look forward to your participation!
