EU CCS Demonstration Projects: Challenges and Blockers on the way to FID

ZEP has issued a statement welcoming the European Commission’s EU Energy Roadmap 2050, which underlines the need for CO₂ Capture and Storage (CCS) to be applied to power generation from both coal and gas-fired power plants and heavy industry. ZEP emphasised that this objective can only be met if the EU and Member States provide the necessary support to ensure CCS is demonstrated at an industrial scale well before 2020, as part of the ongoing EU CCS demonstration programme.
