The European Commission has officially confirmed the Project of Common Interest (PCI) status for the CCS Baltic Consortium \u2013 the first cross-border CO\u2082 capture, transport, and storage project between Lithuania and Latvia, featuring a multi-modal LCO\u2082 terminal in Klaip\u0117da.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PCI status recognises the project as a critical piece of cross-border energy infrastructure, making a significant contribution to the European Union\u2019s energy policy and climate objectives. The CCS Baltic project was first granted PCI status in 2023; as the designation must be renewed every two years, the successful confirmation marks an important milestone for the initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the newly published 2nd PCI\/PMI list, the CCS Baltic CO\u2082 infrastructure project is now part of a broader portfolio of 235 cross-border energy projects across Europe, including 17 carbon transport infrastructure initiatives. This inclusion makes the project eligible to apply for EU funding under the Connecting Europe Facility and provides access to streamlined permitting and regulatory procedures \u2013 key enablers that help accelerate implementation and delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information: <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/ip_25_2758\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Commission boosts energy interconnectivity across Europe and beyond<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ccs-baltic.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PCI-Days-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-602\" style=\"width:779px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ccs-baltic.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PCI-Days-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/ccs-baltic.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/PCI-Days-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dec 9, 2025 Last week, during the PCI Energy Days hosted by the European Commission in Brussels and dedicated to the practical implementation of PCIs and PMIs, CCS Baltic Consortium partners received important and encouraging news.
