PRESS RELEASE: Developing cross-border CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure in Europe is vital to deliver climate neutrality
A new report from the Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) looks at the challenges and opportunities for CO2 transport in Europe, including pipelines and other modes of transport. The report entitled ‘A Trans-European CO2 Transportation Infrastructure for CCUS: Opportunities & Challenges’ provides an overview of CO2 transportation, particularly in industrial clusters, and highlights the importance of developing dedicated business models, as well as enabling policy framework, for CO2 transportation.

ZEP response to ‘Roadmap on Strategy for Energy System Integration’
ZEP supports the EU’s objective of climate neutrality by 2050. While designing a strategy for a net-zero compliant energy system, ZEP believes that a technology-neutral approach should be privileged. All low-carbon technologies, such as CCS and CCU, that are scientifically proven and readily available, should be deployed to support a cost-efficient trajectory to climate neutrality.
Report outline – CCS enables early and cost-efficient clean hydrogen at scale
This 5-page report outline focuses on how to kick-start a European clean hydrogen economy. A more extensive report on this subject is planned for autumn 2020. This paper aims at providing input on how the European Commission can enable a European clean hydrogen market with clean hydrogen from natural gas with CCS.
The extended version of the report will expand on the technological matters of clean hydrogen production and hydrogen infrastructure, and will indicate what the necessary policy framework could look like.
A CCS industry to support a low-carbon European economic recovery and deliver sustainable growth
Europe and the world are facing an unparalleled economic crisis as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Large public investments will need to be mobilised over the coming years to stimulate economic recovery. European recovery can go hand in hand with the ambitions of the European Green Deal – to reach net-zero GHG emissions byContinue reading “A CCS industry to support a low-carbon European economic recovery and deliver sustainable growth”
ZEP response to “Roadmap on Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism”
Europe’s efforts to go climate-neutral by 2050 could be undermined by lack of ambition by our international partners. This would mean a risk of carbon leakage. This occurs when companies transfer production to countries that are less strict about emissions. In such case global emissions would not be reduced. This new mechanism would counteract thisContinue reading “ZEP response to “Roadmap on Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism””

Priorities on CCUS R&I activities
Areas of importance for R&I activities – input to DG RTD, European Commission (EC), by the Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) and the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA) and with input from the CCUS SET-plan IMPACTS9 consortium.
ZEP comment to “Roadmap on European Climate Law”
This act writes into law the goal set out in the European Green Deal – for Europe’s economy and society to become climate-neutral by 2050. This means achieving net zero emissions for EU countries as a whole, mainly by cutting emissions, investing in green technologies and protecting the natural environment. The act will ensure thatContinue reading “ZEP comment to “Roadmap on European Climate Law””
