E N D
A Clean Planet for all • A European strategic long term vision for a prosperous, modern, competitive and climate neutral economy
Energy efficiency Deployments of renewables Clean, safe & connected mobility Competitive industry and circular economy Infrastructure and inter-connections Bio-economy and natural carbon sinks Tackle remaining emissions with carbon capture and storage Building blocks for 2050
Several pathways for a climate neutral Europe, challenging but feasible from technological, economic, environmental and social perspectives Vision for a Clean Planet by 2050
Scenario Analysis Results for CCUS • CCS will be required to reduce emissions of any remaining fossil fuels use (power sector, industry) • In the case of higher ambition targets, CCS combined with biomass is required to generate negative emissions • It also seems necessary for certain hard to decarbonize industrial processes • CCU – synthetic fuels and materials (e.g. in plastics) are also seen as options Climate Action
