🚀 What’s next for ENCASE? || As we look ahead to the rest of 2026, the journey continues. Upcoming months will bring: 🔹 New research outcomes 🔹 Further collaboration across Europe 🔹 Continued efforts to support the CCS ecosystem The work done so far is building the foundation for what comes next. Together, we are moving towards a more sustainable and resilient future. Stay tuned. #ENCASE #Future #CCS #Innovation #Sustainability #ClimateTech

🤝 Collaboration at the core of ENCASE || One of the key highlights of 2026 has been the strong collaboration across our European network. Through joint events, conferences, and cross-project initiatives, ENCASE has: • Connected research infrastructures and industry • Shared knowledge across disciplines • Strengthened partnerships within the CCS community Because the energy transition cannot happen in silos. It requires collaboration, exchange, and a shared vision. #ENCASE #Collaboration #Networking #HorizonEurope #CCS #EnergyTransition

🧪 Advancing knowledge, shaping solutions || In 2026, ENCASE partners have been actively contributing to scientific progress in the CCS value chain. From experimental data to advanced modelling, our work is helping to better understand: 🔹 CO₂ mixtures and their behaviour 🔹 Transport and storage challenges 🔹 Safety and system performance By bridging the gap between research and real-world applications, we are supporting the development of reliable and scalable CCS solutions. Innovation happens when science meets collaboration. #ENCASE #Research #Innovation #CCUS #CO2 #Engineering #ClimateTech

🔍 ENCASE 2026: a journey so far || Since the beginning of the year, the ENCASE project has continued its mission: strengthening Europe’s capabilities in CO₂ transport and storage through cutting-edge research and collaboration. 🌍 Bringing together research infrastructures, industry, and academia, we are working towards: • Safer CO₂ transport and injection • More efficient and cost-effective CCS technologies • A stronger, innovation-driven European ecosystem Every milestone reached so far reflects a shared commitment to tackling one of the most pressing challenges of our time: climate change. This is just the beginning. #ENCASE #HorizonEurope #CCS #CarbonCapture #EnergyTransition #Sustainability

🔎 A look back at the first half of 2026 || The past months have been an important chapter for the ENCASE project, filled with research progress, collaboration, and knowledge sharing across Europe. To reflect on what has been achieved so far, over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing a series of posts highlighting key milestones from the first half of the year. From scientific advancements to partnerships and outreach activities, we’ll take you behind the scenes of our journey. Stay with us as we look back and move forward. #ENCASE #HorizonEurope #CCS #CarbonCapture #EnergyTransition #Sustainability

📚 Inspiring the next generation to care for our planet How can we make conversations about sustainability, climate action, and responsible use of resources meaningful and accessible to children? At the ENCASE Project, we believe that stories can be a powerful starting point. That’s why we’re proud to share “Choose It, Use It, and Put It Away!” — a children’s book developed through a unique co-creation process bringing together engineers, social scientists, teachers, and, most importantly, children themselves. 🌍 More than a children’s book, this initiative shows how science communication can be inclusive, engaging, and inspiring, helping young generations understand how everyday choices can contribute to a more sustainable future. We hope this story sparks curiosity, encourages meaningful conversations, and inspires new ideas for protecting our planet. 📖 Discover the book and the story behind its creation: encase-eu.com/childrens-book/ #ENCASE #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ScienceCommunication #Education #FutureGenerations

🚀 Session III: From design assumptions to operational reality The final session focused on operational de-risking and on-site implementation, showcasing how impurity management is embedded in real CCUS projects and supported by experimental and modelling work. Highlights included: 🔹 Real-world experience from the Ravenna CCS project 🔹 Quality monitoring and impurity control throughout the CO₂ delivery chain 🔹 Experimental studies examining impurity impacts under normal and off-normal operating conditions 🔹 The importance of linking modelling, experimentation and systematic reporting A key conclusion emerged: ✅ Reducing uncertainty requires stronger integration between field data, laboratory testing and predictive modelling. As CCUS projects move from planning to deployment, evidence-based operational practices will be essential to ensure safe, efficient and scalable implementation. #CCUS #CarbonCapture #CarbonStorage #CO2 #EnergyTransition

⚖️ Session II: Trade-offs, cost impacts and operational optimisation How pure does CO₂ really need to be? The second webinar session examined how purity specifications redistribute costs and risks across the CCUS chain and why optimisation cannot be based on purity percentage alone. Key insights included: 🔹 Stricter specifications may reduce downstream risks but increase capture-side costs and operational complexity 🔹 Looser specifications can lower upfront costs while increasing transport and storage burdens 🔹 Project-specific impurity thresholds are often more relevant than pursuing maximum purity The discussion reinforced an important message: 👉 CO₂ purity should be treated as a system-wide cost and risk trade-off rather than an absolute target. Achieving effective CCUS deployment requires balancing technical performance, economics and uncertainty across the entire value chain. #CCUS #CarbonCapture #CarbonStorage #CO2 #EnergyTransition

📌 Session I: Technical and safety impacts of impurities How do CO₂ impurities influence transport integrity, operational safety and value-chain integration? The first session of the ENCASE Cluster Webinar explored how impurity profiles vary across capture sources and industrial processes, and why a single "purity figure" is rarely sufficient to describe a CO₂ stream. Three key topics emerged: 🔹 CO₂ composition varies significantly depending on source and capture technology 🔹 Impurities can affect decompression behaviour, fracture propagation and pipeline integrity 🔹 Effective specifications must be measurable, context-specific and aligned with real industrial operating conditions One of the strongest takeaways was that transport safety depends not only on purity levels, but on the specific composition of the CO₂ stream and how it behaves under off-design conditions. Understanding impurities means understanding the entire system. #CCUS #CarbonCapture #CarbonStorage #CO2 #EnergyTransition

🔍 CO₂ impurities: a challenge across the CCUS value chain CO₂ purity is only part of the story. Understanding which impurities are present, at what concentrations, and how they behave is essential to assessing the performance, safety and cost of CCUS systems. Insights from the ENCASE Cluster Webinar explored how impurities can affect: 🔹 Capture & purification 🔹 Compression & liquefaction 🔹 Transport & operational safety 🔹 Injection & long-term storage One key takeaway: impurity management is a system-wide challenge, not an issue confined to a single stage of the CCUS chain. We’ll be sharing key insights from the three thematic sessions in the coming weeks. 💬 Which part of the CCUS value chain do you think is most sensitive to CO₂ impurities? #CCUS #CarbonCapture #CarbonStorage #CO2 #EnergyTransition

In our latest #ENCASE publication, POLIMI Graduate School of Management and LEAP s.c.a r.l. explored how different impurities can affect the density of CO2‑rich streams under conditions relevant to CO2 transport and storage. By combining new experimental measurements with an evaluation of state‑of‑the‑art equations of state, the study provides insights into the impact of impurities and the accuracy of different models in predicting the density of CO2‑rich streams.
