Bold ideas. Real impact. A new era of carbon innovation.
Online Webinar | 21 May 2025 | 11:00–13:15 CEST
Heavy industries play a vital role in global economies – but they are also among the most challenging sectors to decarbonise. Carbon Capture, Utilisation is emerging as a key enabler for reducing industrial emissions and achieving net-zero goals. Scaling up CCUS solutions is now critical to redefining the future of industry.
On May 21st, 2025, the Net-Zero Industries Mission in cooperation with the CETPartnership* will host a global webinar titled “Carbon Smart: Scaling CCUS for a Net-Zero Industry”, as part of its Industry Insights series. The event will spotlight the transformative role of CCUS in industrial decarbonisation and explore current progress, strategic funding opportunities, and collaborative projects from across Europe.
The session will feature:
- A live discussion with project leads, funders, and industry stakeholders to explore how we can accelerate innovation and implementation in carbon-intensive sectors.
- Expert keynotes on the role of CCU in industrial transformation and insights into the CETPartnership and the upcoming Joint Call 2025.
- Project showcases including demo and R&D initiatives supported by CETP and the Net-Zero Industries Mission.
* CETPartnership is a strategic and collaborative initiative that brings together national and regional research, development, and innovation programs from Europe and Beyond.
Our mission is to accelerate the energy transition and support the implementation of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan). To achieve this, the partnership organises an annual Joint Call for project proposals, offering funding for innovative projects that address energy challenges.
CETPartnership fosters strong cooperation, encouraging experts from all regions to collaborate and find efficient, clean and sustainable energy solutions.
Moderation: Dr Alan Monaghan, Mission Coordinator Net-Zero Industries Mission

Dr Aage Stangeland, Special Adviser at the Research Council of Norway
Dr. Aage Stangeland is a Special Adviser at the Research Council of Norway where he is responsible for the Research Council’s activities within CO2 capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS).
International collaboration is among Stangeland’s responsibilities. This includes the Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP) where he is a co-lead for the Transition Research Initiative #3 (TRI3): Enabling climate neutrality with storage technologies, renewable fuels and CCUS.
Stangeland holds a Dr. Scient. within material science from the University of Oslo in 2005 and a Master of Science within chemical engineering from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 1995.
Magnus Rydén, Professor, The Department of Space, Earth and Environment, Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden
Magnus Rydén is professor in energy conversion at the Department of Space, Earth and Environment at Chalmers University of Technology. He has more than twenty years of experience of research about materials, processes and reactors systems for CO2 capture and conversion of biomass fuels to heat, power, hydrogen, syngas and synthetic fuels. The presentation will focus on current work and development status of CO2 capture by Chemical-Looping Combustion (CLC), and fluidized-bed technology with great potential to reduce cost and energy demand for CO2 capture for heat and power generation.
