Graeme Sweeney is the chairman of the European Zero Emission Technology and Innovation Platform (ZEP). By now, the words ‘net-zero emissions’ have been firmlyContinue reading ““CCUS is essential to reach net-zero emissions” – ZEP article for EurActiv”

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”
