CO₂ capture and utilization is necessary for several reasons:

• To make faster progress on reducing CO₂ emissions, 
• Because there are some industrial sectors (aviation, steel, and cement), where there are not yet developed technologies to prevent greenhouse gas emissions.
• Because all climate forecasts indicate that, in addition to stopping CO₂ emissions, we must remove the CO₂ already in the atmosphere to achieve the goal set in the Paris Agreement of not exceeding 15°C of global warming.

2023 lines of work:

• CO₂ Capture and Storage Technologies (CCS) in industrial processes.
• Negative Emission Technologies (NET) and their potential removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere.
• Using CO₂ for neutral or negative emissions.
• The regulatory framework to enable the implementation of Negative Emission Technologies.
