Role of CCUS in a below 2 degrees scenario

ZEP has published a new report “Role of CCUS in a below 2 degrees scenario”. The report concludes that “CCS is available today, constitutes an essential part of the lowest cost solution, and is particularly necessary for reducing emissions from ‘hard to mitigate’ sectors such as industrial processes and distributed heating”. The report also states that as part of the lowest cost pathway to delivering long-term EU greenhouse gas emissions reductions, CCUS enables a ‘just transition’. This is one that is perceived as not unduly costly to people locally and globally.
