• This region has a large variety of high-emitting industries in the Fos-Berre/Marseille CCS and CCU cluster (Flagship project, SET Plan Action 9) and Lyon metropole area

• The region also encompasses a variety of large, medium and small-scale CO₂ emitters

• A feasibility study was completed in 2013 on potential pathways between industrial CO₂ emitters and CO₂ utilisation opportunities

• A wide range of CCU technologies is being considered, including for the manufacture of chemicals, materials and fuels.

• A pipeline to collect CO₂ from different sources and supply different applications is being planned.

• A pilot power-to-methane project, which combines CO₂ storage with hydrogen production, is already operational in Marseille port (Jupiter 1000 )

• There is potential for early storage development in the south-east geological basin onshore, and offshore beneath the Mediterranean Sea.

• The possibility exists for developing small to medium CCUS hubs and clusters within the south-east basin.

• A Rhône Valley transport corridor could connect the region and neighbouring countries – such as Italy, Spain, North Africa and the Middle East – with large North Sea storage sites
