CCUS, a solution for capturing, transporting, recovering or storing CO2 to help decarbonise industry and revitalise territories

CCUS at a glance
Although it is essential to life on Earth, CO2 is currently overabundant in the atmosphere as a result of human activity, particularly industrial activity.
CCUS technologies (capture, storage and utilisation of CO2) help to reduce excess CO2 by recovering it at the source of production, then storing it sustainably or recovering it as a resource for various applications.
CCUS to decarbonise and revitalise territories
Thanks to its potential, CCUS (capture, storage and utilisation of CO2) appears to be one of the solutions for reducing the residual emissions of industrial companies and achieving the carbon neutrality targets set by France and Europe.
The development of this sector (capture facilities, transport networks, storage sites, recovery industries) is therefore an important lever for decarbonising industry and opening up new economic prospects for the regions.
CCUS deployment in France
To meet the emission reduction targets, a CCUS development strategy needs to be put in place.
Driven by the need to decarbonise industry, CCUS infrastructures are set to expand gradually by 2050, to meet industrial needs.
Teréga at the heart of the France 2030 CCUS strategy
Transport, storage and recovery are inseparable elements of CO2 capture.
As a gas infrastructure provider, Teréga contributes to the deployment of CCUS in its territory through numerous projects, in order to link industrial emitters to storage or recovery sites.
Teréga innovates to promote the integration of CO2 into its infrastructures
The deployment of CCUS to help decarbonise industry and other sectors can only be achieved if logistics infrastructure needs are anticipated.
Teréga’s know-how and expertise, means that it is already preparing its infrastructure to receive CO2 captured from local manufacturers or from other CO2 hubs and neighbouring countries.
