The significance of CCS in achieving net-zero emissions
This blog goes back to basics on our net-zero ambitions and why they matter, and breaks down the essential role that CCS and CDR have to play in reaching them.
COP28: Why we need carbon dioxide removal
Drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions won’t be enough to achieve the goals in the Paris agreement and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. We will also need to remove excess greenhouse gases, in particular CO2, from the atmosphere and oceans. This is known as “carbon dioxide removal” (CDR).
COP28: How CCS can contribute to net-zero emissions
Carbon capture, transport and storage (CCS) is a crucial technological solution for reducing CO2 emissions and achieving the climate goals outlined in the Paris Agreement. It can play a significant role in decarbonising industrial sectors, and producing “clean” hydrogen. However, we still need standards and infrastructure for the large-scale CO2 transport and storage.
More matter with less art: on Hamlet and the lack of real climate action
Is it not a tragedy that humanity has so far been unable to curb its greenhouse gas emissions? If we are to mitigate global warming and meet our climate goals, we need to put an end to our paralysis of action, and demand more financial and regulatory support for climate technologies. But will we be able to do it? That is the question…
The finalisation of a clear incentive for CCUS in Europe just arrived – why did it take so long and what can emerging emissions trading systems learn?
Recent amendments to EU emissions trading system clearly incentivizes permanently stored CO2 as an abatement option for regulated emitters. Why did it take almost 20 years to arrive at this seemingly obvious conclusion, and what can we learn from this experience?
Kicking off the GreenShift events
This year, September stands out as a very special month for us as we kick off two exiting events on the European stage…
