• Climate Action Europe and its Carbon Sequestration Programs
  CAN-Europe partners with industry and researchers in carbon sequestration activities.
• CO2NET - Carbon Dioxide Knowledge Sharing Network
  European networking development program for CO2 geological storage, CO2 capture, and zero emissions technology options.
• CO2 GeoNet
  CO2 GeoNet contains a critical mass of research activity in the area of underground carbon dioxide (CO2) storage. The main aim of CO2 GeoNet will be to integrate, strengthen, and build upon the momentum of previous and existing European R&D, as well as project European excellence internationally, so as to ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of CO2 underground storage research
• CO2NET EAST
  CO2NET EAST is a coordination action co-financed by the European Community within the 6th Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration activities. The main objective of the project is to extend the existing CO2 capture and storage networking activities to new EU Member States and Associated Candidate Countries.

• European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants (ZEP)
  This website is a prime means to achieve coordination amongst the stakeholders of the European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants (ZEP) by serving as the central access point to all relevant information and documentation.
• GESTCO
  The GESTCO project will study the distribution and coincidence of thermal CO2 emission sources and location/quality of geological storage capacity. It intends to provide the first documentation that, for emission sources within selected key areas, sufficient geological storage capacity is available.
• NASCENT
  A project studying natural accumulations of carbon dioxide, in order to assess processes associated with the geological storage of anthropogenic carbon dioxide.
• RECOPOL project
  The main objective of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of greenhouse gas emission reduction by CO2 sequestration in subsurface coal seams under European conditions.
