Novel carbon capture and utilisation technologies: research and climate aspect
Description
Commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete (Climate Action & Energy) asked Carlos Moedas, Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation to entrust the new Scientific Advice Mechanism and its scientific and engineering networks of European academies (SAPEA) with the mandate of exploring the potential of Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU), and provide a scientific opinion on the challenges and opportunities of related novel technologies, thereby providing a direct link between scientific expertise and policy makers in the European Commission. The European Commission Group of Chief Scientific Advisors provided independent scientific advice to the College of European Commissioners to support their decision-making by producing a scientific opinion based on the scientific expertise provided by SAPEA (an integral part of the Scientific Advice Mechanism) in the form of an evidence review report. This evidence review report assesses the climate change mitigation potential of CCU, which is defined as “those technologies that use CO2 as a feedstock and convert it into value-added products such as fuels, chemicals or building materials”.
