Hi Folks,
I don’t suppose there will be dancing in the streets, but those with an interest in CCS should be happy enough…
“In a surprise move, the EU lawmakers backed billions of euros of aid to fit carbon capture technology to power plants, in what would be the world’s biggest backing for a fix many scientists see as the nearest thing to a climate silver bullet.”
“The European Parliament member in charge of legislation on carbon capture and storage (CCS), Chris Davies, has previously estimated that could raise up to 10 billion euros ($13.59 billion) to fund 10 to 12 CCS test plants by 2015.” (Reuters 7 Oct)
There are several news items already on the web and more to follow. Only Poland seems really unhappy…

That’s enough for anyone surely?

The UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Community (UKCCSRC) is supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) as part of the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Energy Programme.
The mission of the UKCCSRC is to ensure that carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays an effective role in helping the UK achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
