- WP6: Supporting the configuration of the CO2 transportation infrastructure.
- WP7: Process simulations and techno-economic KPIs evaluation.
- WP10: Leading task 10.5 on promoting CCUS through training and education.

The most relevant CCUS projects where POLIMI is and has been involved in, are: 

- CEMCAP – Horizon2020 project aimed at preparing the ground for large scale implementation of CO2 capture in the European cement industry.- https://www.sintef.no/projectweb/cemcap/

- CLEANKER – Horizon2020 project working towards the advancement of the integrated Calcium-looping process for CO2 capture in cement plants.- http://www.cleanker.eu/

- ENCASE – Horizon Europe project focusing on developing EU-wide research infrastructures for the CCUS chain (especially CO2 Transport and Injection), including thermo-physical characterization of CO2-based mixtures (website not yet available)
