Summary
The aim of the BCF-2025 project is to prepare, arrange and report the BASRECCS regional conference “BCF Baltic Carbon Forum 2025” which will be held in October. The BCF is part of BASRECCS’ long-term strategy to foster full-scale development of the climate change mitigation technologies carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) in the Baltic Sea Region. The aim is to enable interested and engaged stakeholders to meet, discuss, share knowledge and experiences, and develop projects.
