CO2 Value Europe

CO2 Value Europe (CVE) is an international and non-profit association founded in November 2017 building on the results and the enthusiasm generated by the EU FP7-funded project SCOT (Smart CO2 Transformation).

Within a few years, CVE has become the legitimate representative of the CCU community in Europe. The association has attracted over 75 pioneer members covering the entire CO2 value chain (incl. industries, research organisation and universities, start-ups and regional clusters), and developed a vast network of many more organisations and individuals who share the belief that CCU technologies are necessary to help the EU reach climate targets.
