ZEP gave input to the Roadmap on restoring sustainable carbon cycles. As stated in the European Climate Law, carbon dioxide removals, verified by a robust and thorough carbon accounting methodology, will be a key tool to achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050 and 55% reduction by 2030. Technology-based solutions, such as those enabled by CCS, areContinue reading “ZEP response to roadmap on restoring sustainable carbon cycles”

ZEP response to the consultation on the list of candidate Projects of Common Interest in cross-border carbon dioxide transport networks
ZEP responded to the consultation on the list of candidate Projects of Common Interest in cross-border carbon dioxide transport networks, highlighting that securing political support for the list of candidate projects on cross-border CO2 infrastructure is vital. These projects are on the right track to become operational before 2025. CO2 infrastructure projects call for EuropeanContinue reading “ZEP response to the consultation on the list of candidate Projects of Common Interest in cross-border carbon dioxide transport networks”
Recommendations for the hydrogen and gas market decarbonisation package
ZEP responded to the consultation on ‘Hydrogen and gas market decarbonisation package’. The revision of Regulation 715/2009 on the conditions for access to the natural gas transmission networks provides an opportunity to expand relevant elements of the existing gas regulatory framework to accommodate the infrastructure networks of the future, as well as the transportation ofContinue reading “Recommendations for the hydrogen and gas market decarbonisation package”
Comments on the European Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance delegated act
Since the establishment of the technical expert group on sustainable finance (TEG), ZEP has provided advice to the TEG’s technical report, and has given input and submitted consultation responses to the European Commission on the regulation on the delegated acts on climate change mitigation and adaptation. The European Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities (Taxonomy) can beContinue reading “Comments on the European Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance delegated act”
