Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) is a technology aimed at reducing CO₂ emissions by capturing carbon dioxide from industrial processes, subsequently reusing it in processes and new products or (permanently) storing it. This approach plays a crucial role in the transition to a CO₂-neutral economy, especially for industries where CO₂ emissions are unavoidable. An important theme for our cross-border Scheldt Delta region and essential for achieving the climate objectives and maintaining a competitive industry in the region.

​The success of CCUS implementation strongly depends on various preconditions, such as a robust and integrated infrastructure, a favourable policy and financial framework and social acceptance. Within Smart Delta Resources, industry, port, knowledge institutions, governments and grid operators collaborate on both technical initiatives and creating the right conditions around the CCUS theme.

  • Project: 

Map-it CCU 2024-2025

This project is part of a broader strategy to structurally reduce industrial CO₂ emissions. The project offers practical tools and knowledge to support companies, policymakers and researchers in making sustainable choices regarding CO₂ capture, reuse and storage.

  • Project: 

North-CCU-Hub 

North-CCU-Hub promotes the local application of CCU technology in the Ghent region, in collaboration with CAPTURE, the City of Ghent, the Province of East Flanders and POM. The focus is on innovative processes such as converting green hydrogen and CO₂ into renewable methanol for a low-carbon industry.

New tool ‘Map-it CCU’ assists organisations in selecting suitable carbon capture technology

30 September, 2025

Companies and institutions are increasingly focusing on CO₂ capture in order to achieve our climate targets. However, it is very difficult for a company to assess which technology is the most effective and cost-efficient. By entering a few technical details – such as the concentration, temperature and pressure of the CO₂ stream – Map-it CCU displays an overview of all available technologies, ranked according to suitability.
