ZEP has issued a statement welcoming the European Commission’s EU Energy Roadmap 2050, which underlines the need for CO₂ Capture and Storage (CCS) to be applied to power generation from both coal and gas-fired power plants and heavy industry. ZEP emphasised that this objective can only be met if the EU and Member States provide the necessary support to ensure CCS is demonstrated at industrial scale well before 2020, as part of the ongoing EU CCS demonstration programme.

The companies, scientists, academics and environmental NGOs that together make up the Zero Emissions Platform (ZEP) have undertaken a ground-breaking study into the costs of CO₂ Capture, Transport and Storage (CCS) based on new data provided exclusively by ZEP member organisations on existing pilot and planned demonstration projects. The conclusion: following the European Union’s CCS demonstration programme, CCS will be cost-competitive with other sources of low-carbon power, including on-/offshore wind, solar power and nuclear.
