Carmeuse and Holcim Romania have formalized their partnership in Carbon Hub CPT01, Eastern Europe's first large-scale onshore carbon capture and storage project, following Holcim Romania's grant agreement with the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency. Funded by the EU Innovation Fund, the Câmpulung-based project will produce approximately 2 million tonnes of near-zero cement and 200,000 tonnes of near-zero lime annually, supporting both companies' net-zero goals and broader European decarbonization policy.
The EPA has approved a permit for One Carbon Partnership to inject and store up to 13.5 million metric tons of CO₂ underground over 30 years at an ethanol facility in Randolph County, Indiana, with monitoring requirements extending 50 years post-injection to protect drinking water sources.
PSB Industries is promoting a catalytic oxidation system designed to remove VOCs from CO₂ off-gas at RNG facilities, enabling operators to purify and recover CO₂ for resale while reducing emissions and lowering operating costs compared to traditional thermal oxidation methods.
A new study finds that enhanced rock weathering could remove up to 350 million tonnes of CO₂ annually by 2050 by accelerating natural rock reactions that lock away carbon. ERW uses crushed rock applied to soil and offers long‑term carbon storage along with potential agricultural benefits. While early carbon credits and rising investment signal growing momentum, challenges remain in verification, logistics and large‑scale adoption.
DeCarbon Copenhagen 2026 will run Feb. 24–26 and unite Europe’s biomass, carbon‑removal and digital‑infrastructure communities. The event will address biomass markets, BECCS, carbon markets, data‑center energy challenges and financing mechanisms as Europe advances its decarbonisation agenda.
