Date: 1st October 2025 - 2nd October 2025 Location: Antwerp - Belgium

The European CO2 Shipping Summit 2025 will convene in the historic port city of Antwerp on 1st & 2nd October 2025, offering an unparalleled platform for industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to shape the future of carbon transport. As Europe intensifies its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, the role of CO2 shipping has emerged as a cornerstone in advancing carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) strategies. This premier event will explore the critical intersection of technological innovation, regulatory alignment, and infrastructure development needed to establish a robust and sustainable CO2 shipping ecosystem.

With Antwerp’s rich maritime heritage as a backdrop, the European CO2 Shipping Summit 2025 will delve into pressing topics such as optimising shipping practices for carbon transport, integrating shipping with offshore sequestration, and addressing the financial and technical challenges of scaling the industry. Through a combination of keynote presentations, expert panel discussions, and interactive sessions, attendees will gain valuable insights into cutting-edge solutions and emerging opportunities within this rapidly evolving sector.

The summit will also provide a forum for fostering collaboration across borders, bringing together stakeholders from shipping companies, port authorities, regulatory bodies, and technology providers to share expertise and establish partnerships that will drive the industry’s growth. Delegates will leave equipped with the knowledge and networks to navigate the complexities of CO2 shipping and contribute to Europe’s carbon reduction goals.

Join us in Antwerp for this landmark gathering as we chart the course towards a sustainable future. The European CO2 Shipping Summit 2025 promises to be an essential event for those at the forefront of carbon transport innovation and policy. Save the dates – 1st & 2nd October 2025 – and be part of the conversation shaping the next chapter in Europe’s journey towards a low-carbon future.
