Breaking: Analysis from @oilchange.bsky.social and @corporateeurope.org reveals €17.3 billion of public funds poured into carbon capture in Europe since 2001.

The result of letting fossil fuel lobbyists set the agenda via the annual #ICMForum, coming up 8-9 Dec

On 8-9 Dec, the @EU_Commission hosts its Industrial Carbon Management Forum—promoting #CCS & dominated by fossil lobbyists. Despite decades of CCS failures, €billions still flow in, propping up dirty industries. A big win for fossil lobbyists. #ICMForum

corporateeurope.org/en/2025/12/m...

The Commission's Industrial Carbon Management Forum #ICMForum starts MONDAY.

Decision makers and fossil lobbyists will plan how to roll-out #CCS, a proven-to-fail technofix that allows polluters to keep polluting at great public cost. New briefing: corporateeurope.org/en/2025/12/m...
@ec.europa.eu

Major fossil fuel players in the #ICMForum stand to gain €Bns from @EU_ subsidies for #CCS.

Equinor (who is behind the new Peterhead power station) is tied to 14 projects receiving €2.7B 🛢️
Shell to 12 projects receiving around €5B 🔥

Public money propping up private polluters.

🤫 Why is the EU pushing industry's #FalseSolutions like risky, costly #CCS when better alternatives exist?

Welcome to the #ICMForum, a club of the #FossilFuel industry designing EU’s key energy policies.

#ICMForum meets in Pau 🇫🇷October 10-11

Oil and gas companies get an official avenue to shape EU decisions in their favour: the #ICMForum.

Drumming up billions of public money 💰 for a failed technofix designed to keep them in business 🛢️while spending millions on lobbying 💼 to get what they want #CCS

corporateeurope.org/en/2025/12/m...

💰 Dal 2001 in Europa sono stati destinati al controverso e poco efficace strumento della cattura e dello stoccaggio della CO2 (CCS) ben 17,3 miliardi di € di fondi pubblici. Lo rivela un'inchiesta di @oilchange.bsky.social e @corporateeurope.org alla vigilia dell'#ICMForum.

#CCS is not a climate plan, it's a delay strategy with the public footing the bill. As #ICMForum convenes Europe faces a choice - subsidising a high-cost technofix to suit fossil fuel interests or prioritise real climate solutions that cut emissions now.

🗞️Eilmeldung: Eine Analyse von @priceofoil.bsky.social und @corporateeurope.org zeigt, dass seit 2001 17,3 Milliarden Euro an öffentlichen Geldern in #CCS in Europa geflossen sind und dass die Verbindungen zu fossilen Brennstoffen die EU Kommission beim #ICMForum #FossilFreePolitics beeinflussen.🛢️

Seems like a bad investment of public € - 78% of #CCS projects fail & 70% of the tracked subsidies are for projects still in the planning stage.

@corporateeurope.org show that #ICMForum is dominated by fossil fuel lobbyists, making recommendations that are reflected in EU strategy.

Hosted by the EU Commission, decision-makers will hear from fossil lobbyists on scaling up Carbon Capture and Storage ( #CCS ) — a technofix proven to fail!
