Like all OMC reports, this report has several target groups. First and foremost, the report targets political decision makers at European, national, and sub-national level. It also targets financiers, CCS companies and professionals, and others interested in CCS financing. The report’s objective is to inspire investors to explore the obvious investment opportunities that creative SMEs offer by further deepening the target groups’ understanding of specific issues related to CCS financing; in particular where there are gaps or bottlenecks in the financial ecosystem. The report’s assessment and recommendations should provide political decision makers, financiers and CCS companies with ideas on and possible solutions for overcoming these issues and unlock the undisputed potential of the CCS for smart and inclusive growth.
