Clean Air Task Force analysis of the CO₂ transport infrastructure required to meet the EU’s 2050 net-zero target and the 250 Mtpa storage ambition set out in the Industrial Carbon Management Strategy. The paper calculates that Europe needs 15,000–19,000 km of CO₂ pipelines by 2050, supplemented by ships, rail, and road for emitters that pipelines cannot reach affordably — a combination that mirrors the multi-modal architecture the LNG industry eventually converged on. The analysis makes the case for a cohesive EU regulatory framework governing access, pricing, and cross-border coordination, noting that the current patchwork of national initiatives risks replicating exactly the fragmentation problem that shared infrastructure is meant to solve.
