ZEP’s Annual General assembly brought together the EU’s leading stakeholders on CCS to address the key issues and challenges facing the technology in Europe

Now that COP23 in Bonn has concluded, countries will be turning their attention to the mechanisms and technologies that will enable the achievement of the Paris Agreement. A number of CCS side events took place at COP, indicating that there is a growing realisation that delivering a 2°C scenario, (and particularly a “well-below 2°C” scenario)Continue reading ““An implementation plan for CCS and CCU in Europe” – ZEP article for EurActiv”

As 2017 draws to a close, it is worth reflecting on the CCS developments that have taken place over the past year. The latest COP meeting in Bonn closed on the 17th November – and it remains to be seen whether this meeting succeeds in delivering concrete actions to achieve the objective agreed in 2015 inContinue reading ““A New Dawn for CCS in Europe” – ZEP article for European Energy Innovation”

On the 4th December, EurActiv published an article entitled “‘Game over’ for CCS, driven out by cheap renewables” ZEP has developed the following response to this article: In response to the article (‘Game over’ for CCS, driven out by cheap renewables, 4 December), reducing emissions from Europe’s energy intensive industries through electrification will be extremelyContinue reading “ZEP Response to EurActiv article “‘Game over’ for CCS, driven out by cheap renewables””

In March 2016 ZEP provided detailed recommendations for the design of the Innovation Fund Delegated Act, based on lessons learnt by CCS projects from across Europe including previous NER 300 projects. ZEP has published an updated paper providing input to the Commission on how the Innovation Fund Delegated Act can specifically support the development of CCSContinue reading “ZEP Position Paper Funding CCS Market Makers through the Innovation Fund”

Developing infrastructure The key to delivering CCS across these sectors lies in the development of a fully-fledged CCS infrastructure which can be shared by a large number of industries. The effective development of this infrastructure generates CO2 hubs which can connect to industrial clusters via national and cross-border CO2 transport and storage facilities. This will in turnContinue reading ““An indispensable solution” – ZEP article for Pan European Networks”

ZEP has published a new report “Climate solutions for EU industry: interaction between electrification, CO2 use and CO2 storage”
