Providing access to cost-efficient, replicable, safe and flexible CCUS
CCUS across industrial sectors
ACCSESS adopts a cross-sectorial approach to CO2 Capture, Transportation, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). The project works with pulp and paper, cement, waste to energy, and biorefineries, all industries with potential for significant carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
Cost-efficiency
Demonstrate and integrate cost-efficient CO2 capture and use in industrial installations to enable permanent CDR.
Access
Provide access routes for CO2 captured from European industries to flexible transport and storage infrastructures in the North Sea.
Integration
Leverage CDR to drive CCUS integration for improved urban and European sustainability.

ACCSESS Lunch Webinar – Blueprint for the deployment of capital-intensive technologies for the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industries
In this webinar, Anna Hörbe Emanuelsson (Chalmers) will introduce the Value Chain Transition Fund (VCTF), a new financing model to speed up the implementation of large-scale, high-cost decarbonisation technologies.
ACCSESS Lunch Webinar – Industrial demonstration of indirect mineralization at 100 kg of CO₂ per hour scale
In this webinar, Antonio Gasós will present his work on developing indirect mineral carbonation, from laboratory to demonstration scale.
ACCSESS Lunch Webinar – Capture-ready Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plants
In this webinar, Amy Brunsvold will explain how the complex interplay between air pollution control systems and carbon capture processes can be optimised to ensure smooth integration of CO₂ capture in waste-to-energy plants.
ACCSESS will deliver three major innovations
Piloting improved CO₂ capture technology
Demonstrating improved post-combustion CO₂ capture technology
Piloting of recarbonation of demolition concrete fines
Making use of waste CO₂ from demolished concrete
Developing a cement kiln with integrated amine capture
Develoment of a radically new cement kiln integrated with amine capture
The path to a Climate Neutral Europe
The ACCSESS project’s vision is to develop replicable CCUS pathways towards a Climate Neutral Europe in 2050.
ACCSESS will improve CO2 capture integration in industrial installations (20-30% cost cuts) as a key element to accelerate CCUS implementation, address the full CCUS chain and the societal integration of CCUS.
What is CCUS?
ACCSESS aims to increase the societal understanding of CCUS technologies, and how they can contribute to the development of a low-carbon society.
As such, the project has created a series of videos explaining core CCUS concepts in relation to the four industrial sectors being examined in ACCSESS: pulp and paper, cement, waste-to-energy, and biorefineries.

Moving CCUS in the right direction
To maximize the impact of the Centres main objectives and accelerate the necessary uptake and deployment of CCUS, ACCSESS takes a cross-sectorial approach. Throughout the project, five key items will be tracked for project coherence and efficient internal and external communication and dissemination.
Efficiency
Cost
Carbon Dioxide Removal
Health, Safety and Environment
