Fortum calls for comprehensive EU rules for capturing and utilising carbon emissions from waste incineration

Economic incentives for methods of carbon avoidance and removals are essential to reach the EU climate objectives, which is why Fortum welcomes the European Commission’s ambition to establish rules for industrial carbon management. As carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) technology becomes more common, it can also help the EU on its way to a more sustainable circular economy.

This white paper delves deeper into the potential of the CCU technology from the perspective of European legislation, while also presenting Fortum's innovative Carbon2x pilot project and its possibilities for the future of waste incineration.
