CCS and Carbon Mineral Storage: Research, Industry, and Policies for Climate Neutrality
On the path toward climate neutrality, reducing CO₂ emissions represents a crucial challenge, particularly for highly emission-intensive industrial sectors. Alongside renewable energy sources and energy efficiency, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) technologies are now recognized as necessary tools for achieving climate goals in the medium and long term.
Within this framework, mineral sequestration of CO₂ (Carbon Mineral Storage) is emerging as a particularly promising solution for the permanent and safe storage of carbon.
However, the maturation of these technologies requires integrated scientific progress across the entire value chain—from CO₂ capture to transport and utilisation, through to geological and mineral storage solutions—together with an adequate regulatory framework and structured dialogue among research, institutions, and industry

The day will feature the participation of major industrial companies, operators from the energy and waste management sectors, innovative start-ups, and researchers from the CNR. A central moment of the event will be a round table involving industrial stakeholders, including CARBFIX, ENI, SNAM, Saipem, Heidelberg Materials, and HERA, designed to foster open dialogue, strengthen synergies among value-chain actors, and act as a catalyst for the development of future Carbon Mineral Storage projects in Italy.
The ISPRA Director General, Maria Siclari, will take part in the session “Institutional Strategies and the Regulatory Framework for Decarbonization and CCS
