CCS situation: where are we now?
Good news…
•Various CC options available although not all with the same level of technical readiness (TRL).
- •Storage and utilization solutions potentially available.
- •EU financing.
Bottlenecks
•High costs
- •Lack of infrastructure
- •Not enough renewable energy / H2
- •NIMBY syndrome
What do we need to go forward?
- • High costs entail risk of carbon leakage. We need rules for maintaining our competitiveness.
- •Infrastructure projects and support for storage still missing.
- •Renewable energy supply.
- •New liaisons and new alliances between energy intensive industry and big emitters.
- •Stakeholder dialogue to prevent/limit NIMBY.
