C-Questra and the Central Mining Institute-National Research Institute in Poland (GIG-PIB), have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) projects in Poland.
C-Questra is a European carbon transportation and storage operator founded in 2023 who has submitted its first CCUS permit application in France to further appraise an already assessed onshore CO2 injection site located in the Paris Basin area.
GIG-PIB is a recognised national research institute with 12 scientific research departments and 416 employees who intends to provide expertise and technological support to C-Questra to accelerate the development of certain carbon storage projects in Poland.
Fernanda Veloso, Technical Director at C-Questra, said: “The purpose of the MoU is to maximise our chances, with the help of a prestigious partner, to deliver a first operational CCUS project in Poland who recently introduced legislative amendments aiming at lifting bureaucratic hurdles in order to accelerate the adoption of crucial CCUS technology on large industrial scale.”
