It aims to consolidate experience, develop standards, and design practical solutions for operators and technology providers alike. <\/p><p>The technical work of the TC CCUS began with two online kick-off meetings on June 11, 2025 and August 20, 2025, attended by numerous vgbe member companies. At these meetings, the main areas of focus were defined and the general approach for future collaboration was agreed on. <\/p><p>Key topics of discussion included:<\/p><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li>Capture technologies such as amine scrubbing, membrane processes, carbonate looping, and PSA<\/li><li>CO<sub>2<\/sub> utilisation pathways, in particular e-fuels, synthetic chemicals (methanol, FT products), DME, SAF, and carbonated building materials<\/li><li>Safety, quality and approval requirements along the process chains<\/li><li>Methods for assessing performance, reliability and energy efficiency of capture and utilisation processes<\/li><li>Technical and strategic issues regarding system integration, such as embedding CCUS into industrial processes or coupling with hydrogen and Power-to-X applications<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p>Participants confirmed the considerable need for structured exchange and the definition of common priorities. With the establishment of TC CCUS, vgbe energy has created a key platform to consolidate know-how and actively promote innovation in the field of CO<sub>2<\/sub> capture and utilisation. <\/p><p>For information about participation or contributing to the committee\u2019s work, please contact<br>Dipl.-Ing.
