Zero Emissions Platform
The Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) is the trusted advisor to the European Union on industrial carbon management and seeks to accelerate its deployment in line with Europe’s climate ambition
-
ZEP’s objectives are threefold
1. Determine and create the conditions necessary to reach net-zero GHG emissions in Europe by 2050 with a focus on energy and industrial sectors.
2. Demonstrate that the implementation of CCS and CCU technologies at scale now is essential to achieve this goal.
3. Accelerate the deployment of large-scale CO2 transport and storage networks, enabling clean, competitive energy and industrial sectors, early large-scale clean hydrogen, and carbon dioxide removal.
-
To make net-zero possible we need
1. An enabling policy framework – making it economically feasible to invest in all parts along the CCUS value chain.
2. Strong continued support for CCUS R&I through Horizon Europe and partnerships.
3. Coherent and coordinated EU and national funding programs.
4. An EU strategy for CCS and CCU – including a regulatory framework for CO2 transport infrastructure.
5. Markets for net-zero products – where real climate impact is reflected in the price.
