ConsenCUS
ConsenCUS designs, builds and tests an innovative CO2 capture method.
Goal
To achieve a Carbon Neutral energy system, we need to capture and reuse industrial flue gases. With ConsenCUS, we are testing an innovative technique to do this, focusing on social acceptance, building net-zero industry clusters and temporary storage of CO2.

Description
Within ConsenCUS (Carbon Neutral Clusters through Electricity-based Innovations in Capture, Conversion, Usage and Storage), an innovative way to capture and reuse CO2 is being designed and tested. By capturing and reusing fossil CO2, less fossil CO2 is ultimately emitted. By doing this in the ConsenCUS way, you can use renewable electricity as the raw material for this process, which makes the capture process more efficient and cleaner compared to conventional methods. This way, work is done on reducing our CO2 emissions to combat climate change.
Our role
New Energy Coalition took initiative to set up the ConsenCUS project consortium and write the plan of action. We carry out the project management, which means we are in charge of the day-to-day management, are the contact person for all partners and the EU, and closely monitor progress and set targets. In addition, we are in the lead when it comes to communication and dissemination of the project.
Partners
The ConsenCUS consortium consists of 19 partners from 7 different countries. In addition to New Energy Coalition, Wetsus, Coval Energy, University of Groningen (RUG), Herriot Watt University, British Geological Survey, Robert Gordon University (RGU) , Danish Technology University (DTU), Energy Policy Group (EPG), Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH), Net Zero Technology Centre, GEUS, OMV Petrom, Grecian Magnesite, Aalborg Portland, Danish Gas Technology Centre, University of Calgary, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Zhejiang University are participating in the project.
