The outcomes reflect hard-fought compromises from cross-sectoral debates, which the Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) has facilitated as a neutral platform for multi-stakeholders, evidence-based dialogue. ZEP has played a criticalContinue reading “Commission adopts first carbon removal methodologies, setting global standards for carbon removals”

Infographic – Europe needs robust accounting for Carbon Dioxide Removal
This report from Temporary Working Group Carbon Dioxide Removal 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 – Europe needs a definition of Carbon Dioxide Removal
This infographic summarises ZEP report ‘Europe needs a definition of Carbon Dioxide Removal’. This report provides clear and concise definitions of commonly used terms around Carbon Dioxide Removal, to give an overview of existing technologies and their potential for emissions reduction, to identify some examples of European industrial plants that could go carbon negative and to advocate for European CO2 transport and storage infrastructure, a real enabler for large-scale carbon dioxide removals.
