“CCUS is essential to reach net-zero emissions” – ZEP article for EurActiv
Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) is not a silver bullet solution for climate change but a vital tool for reducing industrial emissions and enabling clean hydrogen production, argues Graeme Sweeney. Graeme Sweeney is the chairman of the European Zero Emission Technology and Innovation Platform (ZEP). By now, the words ‘net-zero emissions’ have been firmlyContinue reading ““CCUS is essential to reach net-zero emissions” – ZEP article for EurActiv”

A number of CCS side events took place at COP, indicating that there is a growing realisation that delivering a 2°C scenario, (and particularly a “well-below 2°C” scenario)Continue reading ““An implementation plan for CCS and CCU in Europe” – ZEP article for EurActiv”
“A New Dawn for CCS in Europe” – ZEP article for European Energy Innovation
As 2017 draws to a close, it is worth reflecting on the CCS developments that have taken place over the past year. The latest COP meeting in Bonn closed on the 17th November – and it remains to be seen whether this meeting succeeds in delivering concrete actions to achieve the objective agreed in 2015 inContinue reading ““A New Dawn for CCS in Europe” – ZEP article for European Energy Innovation”
ZEP Response to EurActiv article “‘Game over’ for CCS, driven out by cheap renewables”
On the 4th December, EurActiv published an article entitled “‘Game over’ for CCS, driven out by cheap renewables” ZEP has developed the following response to this article: In response to the article (‘Game over’ for CCS, driven out by cheap renewables, 4 December), reducing emissions from Europe’s energy intensive industries through electrification will be extremelyContinue reading “ZEP Response to EurActiv article “‘Game over’ for CCS, driven out by cheap renewables””
“An indispensable solution” – ZEP article for Pan European Networks
Developing infrastructure The key to delivering CCS across these sectors lies in the development of a fully-fledged CCS infrastructure that can be shared by a large number of industries. The effective development of this infrastructure generates CO2 hubs that can connect to industrial clusters via national and cross-border CO2 transport and storage facilities. This will in turnContinue reading ““An indispensable solution” – ZEP article for Pan European Networks”
