MapStand Newsletter: July 2025

Written by Francis Cram | Aug 05, 2025

We hope you're enjoying the summer months.

Welcome to the latest edition of our monthly newsletter.

 

Europe's CCS Acceleration 🌏

Europe’s decarbonisation ambitions just crossed a point of no return: CCS is no longer optional - it’s a legal obligation, a market necessity, and a race against time.

With the EU mandating 50 million tonnes of CO₂ storage capacity by 2030, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has become a cornerstone of Europe’s net-zero strategy 🌍

Yet our latest geospatial intelligence reveals both the progress and the widening gaps in storage readiness, cross-border infrastructure, and commercial certainty.

 

Here's what we'll cover...

- The urgency of carbon capture in Europe
- 2024–2025: CCS becomes essential, not optional
- The scale of the challenge and the opportunity
- Funding and policy momentum
- The first cross-border CCS project and the evolving European CCS landscape
- Cross-border CO₂ transport: The next big thing
- Why MapStand’s data matters in the CCS transition

Whether you're an analyst, working on commercial CCS strategy, or policymaker, MapStand helps you see the full CCS picture, and stay ahead of this rapidly evolving sector.

 


We're featured in the latest Xodus report 🔋
 

It was a pleasure to support Xodus with their latest report on the evolving CCS industry in the APAC region.

The report offers valuable insights into how the sector is developing and how APAC could become the world's largest CO2 shipping market.
