CCUS is Critical to Achieving a Net-Zero Emissions Europe
The European Zero Emissions Technology & Innovation Platform (ZEP) is today launching a new report on the “Role of CCUS in a below 2 degrees scenario”
Norwegian CCS Cluster Takes Another Step Closer to Reality
The European Zero Emissions Technology & Innovation Platform (ZEP) welcomes the announcement from the Norwegian Government to provide €29.2 million of funding for the continued development of the large-scale Norwegian industrial CCS demonstration programme.
“An implementation plan for CCS and CCU in Europe” – ZEP article for EurActiv
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”
“A New Dawn for CCS in Europe” – ZEP article for European Energy Innovation
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”
ZEP Response to EurActiv article “‘Game over’ for CCS, driven out by cheap renewables”
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””
ZEP Position Paper Funding CCS Market Makers through the Innovation Fund
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”
“An indispensable solution” – ZEP article for Pan European Networks
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”

ZEP Briefing Paper – CCU in the Renewable Energy Directive
The European Commission in its revision of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (REDII) has proposed a 2030 target for ‘low-emission and renewable fuels’. ZEP has published this briefing paper from May 2017, setting out the position of the Platform on how Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) should be treated within the Renewable Energy Directive.
