As global interest is growing daily for Carbon Capture Storage and Use (#CCUS) applications, the Institute of Energy for SE Europe (#IENE) is pursuing application possibilities, firstly in Greece and later in other countries in the region. Having last year completed a major report (https://lnkd.in/dB438YMj) on possible CCUS projects in Greece, we are now carrying out a follow up study on the Cost Benefit Analysis for a CCUS hub to be located in the #Atticaregion (https://lnkd.in/dJeWSUfi) Through this study we aim to establish the basic economics for building and operating an integrated facility which will be capable of capturing the bulk of CO2 emissions from industries, including #refineries and #powerplants, and #shipping them to a permanent underground storage cavern in #Greece or elsewhere in the #Mediterranean. The big challenge for IENE’s research team is to achieve processing costs which will be equal or below current or anticipated #ETS prices. However, preliminary work suggests that #CAPEX is likely to be huge and difficult to recoup without some form of subsidy. We shall now for sure when the study is completed before the end of the year.

It was on July 16, 2003 that the group of 15 founding members of the Institute met formally in the premises of the National Research Foundation, in Athens to sign the Articles of Association of the newly born Institute of Energy for SE Europe (#IENE) and discuss its prospects in the then fast changing economic and social environment of South East Europe. The vast geopolitical changes that shook Europe and the world, following the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe, were still fresh and the actual #political and #energy changes in #SEEurope were still in their infancy. The Energy Community had not even been formed (it was founded following Greece’s initiative in 2005) while Athens, where the Institute is based, was then playing a leading role in the energy transformation of the region. Overall, the Institute’s continuous engagement in energy issues, most importantly through the regular publication of newsletters and analysis, and participation in public consultations and the public dialogue at large, is indicative of its commitment towards achieving a better understanding and appreciation of the complex energy and related environmental issues confronting our society. In this context IENE’s role in the present economic and social environment in #Greece and #SouthEastEurope is crucial and its partners, its members and supporting companies and organisations are determined to enhance the Institute’s further development and advancement.

Greek-Turkish Energy Relations have entered a new phase following the successful #1stGreekTurkishEnergyForum which was convened by #IENE and was successfully held in Istanbul on April 25, 2024. Following consultations between the steering committee and participants the Conclusions and Recommendations of the Forum have now been finalised and can be seen here https://lnkd.in/dvbfkcMD IENE proposes a series of specific actions aiming at the further improvement and cooperation between #Greece and #Turkey in the #energysector. The setting up of a joint working group under the auspices of the Institute which will meet twice a year is one such action, as well as the preparation of a detailed report where actual projects involving participation from Greek and Turkish companies and experts can be identified. Furthermore,the organisation of the Greek-Turkish Energy Forum on a regular basis, say once every two years, is seen as yet another step which will enhance Greek-Turkish energy cooperation.
