Cross-border, European CO2 transport and storage infrastructure: A real enabler for European decarbonisation On 23 March 2021, the Zero Emissions Platform, Bellona Europa and Clean Air Task Force co-organised a webinar ‘Cross-border, European CO2 transport and storage infrastructure: A real enabler for European decarbonisation’. The focus of the webinar follows the revised Trans-European Networks forContinue reading “Cross-border European CO2 transport and storage infrastructure”

PRESS RELEASE – Zero Emissions Platform announces CO2 transport and storage operator Northern Lights JV DA as a new member of the Platform
The Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) welcomes a new member to the platform: Northern Lights JV DA, the transport and storage component of Norway’s Longship carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.

Infographic – Europe needs robust accounting for carbon dioxide removal
This infographic summarises ZEP’s report ‘Europe needs robust accounting for carbon dioxide removal’, produced by ZEP’s Temporary Working Group on Carbon Dioxide Removal. The report provides a definition of carbon dioxide removal (based on the four principles presented in the previous ZEP report ‘Europe needs a definition of carbon dioxide removal’) that defines a screening process to identify whether CCS and CCU projects may lead to CDR and outlines the factors that need to be considered when assessing a project’s potential for CDR.
Infographic – The crucial role of low-carbon hydrogen production to achieve Europe’s climate ambition
This infographic summarises ZEP’s report ‘The crucial role of low-carbon hydrogen production to achieve Europe’s climate ambition: A technical assessment’, produced by ZEP’s Temporary Working Group on Hydrogen. The report focuses on the need for blue hydrogen and considers production techniques, costs, scalability, and emissions reduction potential. It also emphasises the need for investment in shared infrastructure networks for both CO2 and hydrogen and also includes recommendations for policymakers.
PRESS RELEASE – Zero Emissions Platform welcomes new members: Clean Air Task Force, ExxonMobil and Fortum Oslo Varme
The Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) has welcomed three new members to the Platform: Clean Air Task Force, ExxonMobil and Fortum Oslo Varme.
ZEP response to RED II consultation – Questionnaire
ZEP responded to the questionnaire on the review of the REDII Directive. ZEP highlighted that the REDII should be amended in order to be consistent with the objective of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 and with other relevant pieces of legislation. Coordination among different pieces of legislation is critical to deliver a cost-efficient transition to higher 2030 targets, as well as to the objective of climate neutrality by 2050. There is an increasing role for low-carbon hydrogen to play to meet both 2030 and 2050 targets. CCS can play a crucial role in delivering early, large-scale volumes of low-carbon hydrogen from reformed natural gas, which will be needed to achieve the higher EU 2030 emissions reduction target.
ZEP response to Innovation Fund consultation – An amendment of the delegated regulation
ZEP responded to the Innovation Fund consultation on an amendment of the delegated regulation to enable a choice between a one-stage or two-stage application procedure for the next large-scale call. ZEP’s input included a positive reply with reservations and some questions, and further comments ahead of the second large-scale call.
