ZEP response to Technical Expert Group (TEG) report on EU Taxonomy

The Zero Emission Technology and Innovation Platform (ZEP) is the technical adviser to the EU on the deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU), a European Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP) under the Commission’s Strategic Energy Technologies Plan (SET-Plan).

ZEP would like to commend the approach developed by the Technical Expert Group on the inclusion of CCS in the taxonomy. Specifically, the recognition that CCS is a sustainable economic activity that can help to decarbonise existing industrial activities, such as manufacturing and electricity generation.
