ACT is an international initiative to establish CO2 capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) as a tool to combat global warming.
ACT means Accelerating CCS Technologies, and the ambition of the 16 partners is to fund research and innovation projects that can lead to safe and cost-effective CCUS technology.
Since ACT’s start in 2015 participating organizations have allocated 108 million euro in funding for 39 international research, development and innovation (RD&I) projects.

The European Commission is acknowledged for co-funding within the Horizon 2020 programme (project 691712).
What's up
The RETURN project was finalised end of 2024 with many interesting results on how depleated oil and gas reservoirs can be reused for CO2 storage.
The ENSURE project was finalised end of 2024 with many interesting results on microseismic monitoring technology for CO2 storage sites.
Researchers from the projects CEMENTEGRITY, RETURN, and SHARP have worked together to figure out how to store gigatons of CO2
The ENSURE team won the annual award for the best paper in 2024 with their paper on microseismic monitoring of the Quest CCS site in Canada.
