CO2 Value Europe (CVE) is the industry association founded in November 2017 to foster the market deployment of a broad set of innovative technologies, which can recycle CO₂ emissions into useful products such as fuels, materials and chemicals.

In the short time since its creation, CVE has become the legitimate representative of the Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) industry to the EU Institutions. The association attracted 70 pioneer companies covering the entire CO₂ value chain: CO₂ emitters from energy intensive industries, developers and upscalers of CO₂ capture and conversion technologies, as well as distributors and users of CO₂ -based products.

CVE focuses on a series of themes: information gathering and sharing on CCU technologies developed in Europe and across the world; participation to defining strategic roadmaps for CCU development, matchmaking to develop demonstration projects; support for public and private funding for CCU R&I; communication activities to increase the visibility of CCU approaches.

The members of CVE believe that a favourable policy framework must be developed to ensure that CCU solutions can rapidly contribute to the ambitious goals of the EU Green Deal. Many CCU technologies are now technically ready and provide drop-in solutions without requiring any significant modification of existing production, distribution and use infrastructure.

The rapid large-scale deployment of these technologies is therefore key to reaching the EU’s climate objectives in 2030 and 2050, while at the same time creating job opportunities and strengthening the global leadership that Europe currently has on many CCU technologies.

The Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) is a global leader in researching and developing technologies that make the energy we use and produce more efficient and environmentally friendly. Our team of more than 200 scientists, engineers and finance, operations and other support professionals work together to develop practical solutions to critical global issues.

Our comprehensive research portfolio comprises a wide array of services tailored to meet each client’s needs. We work in partnership with clients to develop, refine, demonstrate, and commercialise marketable products that provide practical solutions to real-world challenges.

Today’s energy and environmental needs require a total-systems approach that focuses on technical details while retaining a broad perspective. Utilising decades of energy research, we are a driving force for innovation and new opportunities in the energy industry. The EERC is part of the University of North Dakota and is designated as North Dakota’s State Energy Research Center.
