    What this call funds

    This call funds a coordination and support action to help stakeholders in the CO2 transport and storage sector prepare for upcoming EU legislation on CO2 infrastructure. It will review current rules and practical challenges around cross border integration, interoperability, liability, tariffs, ownership models, and repurposing existing pipelines and infrastructure for CO2 transport. The goal is to produce analysis and guidance that helps industry and regulators implement the new legislative framework smoothly.
