The annual Baltic Carbon Forum 2025 took place in Tallinn on 9-10 October, organised by BASRECCS and supported by the Nordic Energy Research and industrial partners.
Speakers and participants from academia, cement industry and energy sector, NGOs (Bellona, Global CCS Institute), technology providers, regulators and students took part in the BCF2025.
ENeRG partners from TalTech, SHOGenergy, PGI-NRI, AGH and GEOECOMAR were among the BCF2025 Organising Committee, session leaders and speakers.
Dr Alla Shogenova (TalTech), as a conference organiser, was a convener of two sessions, and Dr Kazbulat Shogenov (SHOGenergy) made a presentation on techno-economic modelling of the Baltic offshore cross-border scenario using direct injection from ships. This study includes recent results of the CETP CTS project supported by the Clean Energy Technology Partnership and the Ministry of Climate of Estonia. Mai Uibu from TalTech talked about CO2 mineral carbonation of mining and industrial waste in the Estonian RAGN-Sells OSA project.
Dr Alexandra Dudu (ENeRG ex-president from GEOECOMAR) made one oral and two poster presentations about CO2 storage and CCS activities in Romania and the CETP CTS project CCS Scenarios in the Black Sea.
Pawel Gladysz (AGH), as the president of the CCUS Poland Association, made a presentation about CCUS developments in Poland. Pawel mentioned the ongoing work in the HELCOM CCS environmental working group, where several BCF2025 participants (and the ENeRG members) take part to make CO2 storage in the Baltic Sea geological structures possible.
During the BCF2025, the breaking news came from the neighbouring country, where the Parliament of Latvia approved new regulations permitting underground storage of CO2 on an industrial scale and opened the gates for the wide implementation of CCUS technologies in the Baltic Region. Latvia has the best geological conditions in the region for underground CO2 storage.
