Climate Tech as the Backbone of Resilient Growth

Climate tech is not only essential for decarbonization but also a strategic pillar for Europe’s economic security and long-term competitiveness. As geopolitical pressures and climate risks intensify, clean technologies – from renewables to digital grid solutions – form the backbone of a resilient future. The paper calls for faster execution, clearer policy signals, and stronger investment to scale breakthrough innovations and secure Europe’s leadership in climate tech.

  • Carbon Capture

    This two-page poster provides an overview of the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) value chain and its associated technologies. CO₂ can be captured from industrial point sources or directly from the air. Then, it can be used in industrial processes or permanently stored to prevent its release into the atmosphere. The poster compares three…
