Introduction The European Union (EU) has made significant progress in advancing CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) as a critical technology for combating climate change. Indeed, EU CO2 reduction targets are not achievable without CCS. This was formally recognised by the European Council in March 2007. Just two years later, Europe has established a legal frameworkContinue reading “Maximising the benefits of knowledge sharing”

The realities of storing carbon dioxide
This statement was authored by a number of key geological experts and ZEP members in response to a recent publication by Ehlig-Economides & Economides 2010 which sought to demonstrate that CCS is not technically or economically feasible, based on a supposed lack of underground CO2 storage capacity. ZEP believes the E&E paper to be a seriousContinue reading “The realities of storing carbon dioxide”
Recommendations for the implementation of New Entrant Reserve Funding
Executive summary This paper presents the input of ZEP to the European Commission during the comitology process that will determine the allocation of the New Entrant Reserve and the implementation of the demonstration projects whose funding it is intended to support. Timing and Process a. Timing for the CCS Programme is critically important; the bulkContinue reading “Recommendations for the implementation of New Entrant Reserve Funding”
EU Demonstration Programme for CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS)
About the report In 2006, ZEP outlined the technology and deployment roadmap necessary to achieve this goal. In 2007,we then presented our vision for an EU Flagship Programme of large-scale CCS demonstration projects asthe next – and final – step. This will ensure the implementation of complete CCS value chains – from thecapture of CO2Continue reading “EU Demonstration Programme for CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS)”
