Reggio Emilia, Italy – October 23rd, 2025
On October 22th, the Second Dissemination Event of the European project HERCCULES – Heroes in Southern Europe to decarbonise industry with CCUS took place at the Tecnopolo in Reggio Emilia, Italy, organised by Clust-ER Greentech with the support of EUCORE, LEAP, and the international project consortium. The event was attended by over 70 people from 12 different countries, including researchers, technicians, and industry stakeholders. The initiative brought together representatives from industry, academia, and institutions to share results, perspectives, and technologies related to CO₂ capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), which is at the heart of the European energy transition. Funded under Horizon Europe, HERCCULES aims to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of CCUS solutions in the most difficult industrial sectors to decarbonise, promoting the transfer of knowledge and technologies with the EU, and in particular, between southern European countries. The project brings together companies, universities, and research centers from all over Europe, with the aim of developing integrated CO₂ capture and utilisation systems, tested on a real scale, and creating shared indicators to measure their environmental and economic impact.
