EU project does deep dive into EU policy shaping framework for fossil-free chemicals

In Belgium, the CO2SMOS project, a Horizon 2020 initiative funded by the European Union, has undertaken an in-depth analysis of recent EU legislation shaping a policy framework for fossil-free chemicals. Building on these insights, the project recommends a targeted set of policy actions aimed at enabling the large-scale adoption of Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technologies and increasing the uptake of CO₂-based products across Europe. The recommendations outline essential regulatory adjustments and funding enhancements to support the EU’s climate goals and transition toward a sustainable carbon economy, particularly in the chemicals sector.
