Providing access to cost-efficient, replicable, safe and flexible CCUS
CCUS across industrial sectors
ACCSESS adopts a cross-sectorial approach to CO2 Capture, Transportation, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). The project works with pulp and paper, cement, waste to energy, and biorefineries, all industries with potential for significant carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
Cost-efficiency
Demonstrate and integrate cost-efficient CO2 capture and use in industrial installations to enable permanent CDR.
Access
Provide access routes for CO2 captured from European industries to flexible transport and storage infrastructures in the North Sea.
Integration
Leverage CDR to drive CCUS integration for improved urban and European sustainability.

The path to a Climate Neutral Europe
The ACCSESS project’s vision is to develop replicable CCUS pathways towards a Climate Neutral Europe in 2050.
ACCSESS will improve CO2 capture integration in industrial installations (20-30% cost cuts) as a key element to accelerate CCUS implementation, address the full CCUS chain and the societal integration of CCUS.
What is CCUS?
ACCSESS aims to increase the societal understanding of CCUS technologies, and how they can contribute to the development of a low-carbon society.
As such, the project has created a series of videos explaining core CCUS concepts in relation to the four industrial sectors being examined in ACCSESS: pulp and paper, cement, waste-to-energy, and biorefineries.
World-renowned partners
ACCSESS brings together 18 partners dedicated to realising innovations for CDR in a CCUS context.
Moving CCUS in the right direction
To maximize the impact of the Centres main objectives and accelerate the necessary uptake and deployment of CCUS, ACCSESS takes a cross-sectorial approach. Throughout the project, five key items will be tracked for project coherence and efficient internal and external communication and dissemination.
Efficiency
Cost
Carbon Dioxide Removal
Health, Safety and Environment
