CO2 infrastructure, CCS, and hydrogen should be at the core of a truly integrated, climate-neutral energy system. ZEP supports the EU’s objective of climate neutrality by 2050. While designing a strategy for a net-zero compliant energy system, ZEP believes that a technology-neutral approach should be privileged. All low-carbon technologies, such as CCS and CCU, thatContinue reading “Response to the Roadmap on Strategy for Energy System Integration”

ZEP response to 2030 Climate Target Plan
Reaching net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 is the primary goal of the European Union’s climate action. This objective will bring about unprecedented challenges for European citizens, regions and industries, and the industrial transition will require the deployment of all technologies available. The European Union will need to preserve existing jobs across key industrial value chainsContinue reading “ZEP response to 2030 Climate Target Plan”
Response to public consultation on European Climate Law
ZEP supports the European Union’s commitment to climate neutrality by 2050, defined as net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 and welcomes the Climate Law’s approach to 2050. To this end, carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) technologies play a crucial role. These technologies represent a readily available, cost-efficient pathwayContinue reading “Response to public consultation on European Climate Law”
Response to European Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance
The EU has set climate and energy targets for 2030, and aims to be climate-neutral by 2050. This initiative creates a classification system for sustainable economic activities (‘taxonomy’), and focuses on the EU’s environmental objectives on climate change mitigation and adaptation. This will create a common language that investors can use everywhere when investing inContinue reading “Response to European Taxonomy for Sustainable Finance”
Response to roadmap on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
Europe’s efforts to go climate-neutral by 2050 could be undermined by a lack of ambition by our international partners. This would mean a risk of carbon leakage. This occurs when companies transfer production to countries that are less strict about emissions. In such case, global emissions would not be reduced. This new mechanism would counteractContinue reading “Response to roadmap on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism”
ZEP response to Horizon Europe EU Partnerships
Public Consultation on 12 proposed Institutionalised European Partnerships under the future Horizon Europe Research and Innovation programme.
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 theContinue reading “ZEP response to Technical Expert Group (TEG) report on EU Taxonomy”
Response to the targeted consultation for the Evaluation of the State Aid for Environmental Protection and Energy
Targeted Consultation for the Evaluation of the Guidelines on State aid for Environmental protection and Energy 2014-2020 (EEAG).
ZEP response to State Aid Fitness Check
Response from the Zero Emission Technology and Innovation Platform (ZEP), 10th July 2019.
Consultation on the list of candidate PCIs in cross-border CO2 transport infrastructure
The European Zero Emission Technology and Innovation Platform (ZEP) is the EuropeanThe Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP) was established to provide advice to the EuropeanCommission on the research, demonstration, and deployment of CCS and CCU technologies. Support for PCIs for CO2 Transport Carbon capture and storage deployment in Europe has progressed more slowly than expectedContinue reading “Consultation on the list of candidate PCIs in cross-border CO2 transport infrastructure”
