Advancing the Net Zero Industry Act: CO₂ Value Europe’s Response to the European Commission

The EU-based CO₂ Value Europe submitted feedback on the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA) on February 20, 2025, proposing changes to the Annex which aims to support carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) technologies. Their recommendations included renaming the CO2 utilisation sub-category for clarity and ensuring that commercially available CCU products are included. The act has been crucial in identifying several technologies as essential for the EU’s clean energy transition and streamlining their regulatory approval processes.
