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.
