The chemical sector is undergoing a profound transformation towards a circular and decarbonised model, with all that this entails in terms of resources—both financial and in recruitment and talent retention—as well as infrastructure and the need to create new markets. We have the opportunity to transform the Tarragona chemical cluster into a multi-energy and circular hub that becomes a global benchmark. To achieve this, highly qualified personnel are needed to make this transformation possible.

In an international context marked by geopolitical tensions, trade distortions and increasing market fragmentation, this round table addresses trade defence and access to new markets as complementary elements of a single strategy. The session combines the European strategic perspective, practical application at national level and business experience to provide companies with a comprehensive and operational understanding of the current trade environment. From defence instruments against unfair practices to the identification of real internationalisation opportunities, the discussion focuses on how to compete and grow in an increasingly complex global landscape.

CCUS: the importance of carbon capture in achieving our climate objectives

Ferrán Abril MESSER Senior Project Development Manager, ZeCarb Speaker

Isabel Martínez MESSER CCUS Applications Engineer Speaker

2026-06-02 16:00 2026-06-02 16:30 Europe/Madrid CCUS: the importance of carbon capture in achieving our climate objectives Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) has become a key element in the fight against climate change. The process of capturing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes, preventing them from entering the atmosphere, is gaining particular importance. The captured carbon dioxide can be used for other purposes or safely stored. In this presentation, Messer will detail its carbon capture as a service offering under the ZeCarb brand, aimed at supporting hard-to-decarbonise industries in achieving their climate neutrality targets by capturing the CO₂ emissions generated during their production processes.
