The ERA-NET Cofund action "Accelerating CCS technology as a new low-carbon energy vector" ACT (01/2016 - 12/2020) is a transnational collaboration on CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) technology. ACT targets mainly the energy sector, but will also have benefits for energy intensive industries. The vision of ACT is to ensure that the energy sector makes a better contribution to climate protection by developing a collection of different CCS technologies ready for commercialisation. The consortium consists of 10 partners from 9 countries.
