The past year has been one of continued progress for ECCSEL, marked by advancements in CCUS research infrastructure and the joining of Germany as a new member country. Also implementation of the ECCSEL scope extension to include subsurface storage of energy (LCES) and feedstock as well as Geo-Thermal energy research has progressed with many research facilities covering those areas being included in ECCSEL. We extend our big thanks to all our partners for their invaluable contributions in driving innovation and strengthening collaboration across Europe’s CCUS, CDR, LCES and geothermal energy systems landscape.

The Annual Report 2025 provides a comprehensive overview of key developments, facility upgrades, transnational access initiatives, and strategic investments shaping the future of CCUS, CDR, LCES and geothermal energy systems research.
