Kick-off event related to the new European standards committee CEN/TC 474 'Carbon dioxide Capture, transportation, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS)'

Today, NBN already has a Belgian mirror committee with a number of experts involved in the work of the international ISO committee ISO/TC 265 'Carbon dioxide capture, transportation, and geological storage'.

Now, there's a new development: CEN, the organisation that develops and publishes standards at the European level, established its own technical committee on CCUS in 2023: CEN/TC 474 'Carbon dioxide Capture, transportation, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS)'.

This new committe will be of considerable importantance for three reasons:

1. It will adopt existing international standards (ISO) as European standards.
2. It will develop new European standards directly related to European regulations and policies. These new standards will be specific to the European market.
3. The ISO committee focuses only on the capture, transport and storage of CO₂. However, the CEN committee will also focus on the reuse of captured CO₂.

The Belgian mirror committee NBN/I265 will closely follow what is happening within the CEN and ISO committees. In addition, the experts in the mirror committee can also contribute to the drafting of these standards, whether by participating in the European and international working groups themselves or by voting during the development process of a new standard.

Find out how standards are created and who can participate in their development at our free kick-off event. Learn about the latest developments in CCUS standards and explore the world of standardisation. Two fascinating speakers will provide insights into the CCUS value chain. Don't miss this unique opportunity to deepen your knowledge and make valuable connections.
