Achieving the EU’s targets on CO₂ capture rates will require an “extraordinary increase in effort” and much more active support from policymakers at the member state level, according to lobby group CCS Europe. Many hundreds of capture plants must be built at industrial sites if the EU’s target of capturing 280mt/yr of CO₂ by 2040 is to be met, the group said in a new manifesto for the industry. The European Commission, which has called the scale-up of CCS “indispensable” to curbing climate change, should provide leadership, but the growth of the industry ultimately depends on support at the national level. “The principal drive for carbon capture deployment will come from individual member st
