    Als letzte große klimapolitische Initiative vor den Europawahlen hat die scheidende Europäische Kommission ihre Mitteilung für ein 2040-Ziel veröffentlicht. Mit ihrer Empfehlung eines 90%-Netto-Reduktionsziels im Vergleich zu 1990 schlägt sie erste strategische Pflöcke für die nächste Legislaturperiode ein. Dabei unter­streicht sie die zunehmende Bedeutung industriepolitischer Flankierung der Klimapolitik, besonders von Carbon-Management-Technologien. Zwar beginnt die Ausgestaltung der klimapolitischen Architektur für die Jahre 2031 bis 2040 erst nach den Europawahlen. Doch die Mitteilung zum 2040-Ziel gibt einen Vorgeschmack auf die politischen Herausforderungen, denen sich auch die Bundesregierung stellen muss.

    The original TEN-E Regulation, adopted in 2013, established the regulatory framework for the development of cross-border energy infrastructure within the EU. Following the publication of the EU Green Deal in 2019, the EC proposed to revise the Regulation to facilitate the access of renewable and low carbon gases to the energy system by enabling hydrogen infrastructure to benefit from PCI status and thus faster permitting and EU financial assistance. This paper analyses the final Regulation as well as the evolutionary journey from the EC Proposal to the final Regulation. The paper finds that the final Regulation enables and supports 'hybrid' decarbonization, which would allow renewable hydrogen to be maximized while low carbon hydrogen is allowed to play a role which allows for renewable hydrogen to be phased in more quickly, thus helping to meet the EU GHG emissions reduction targets. Nonetheless, it remains unclear whether low carbon hydrogen will play an important role in the European energy transition. The combination of (a) natural gas being politically unpopular and expensive, (b) too few CCUS projects making substantial progress, (c) the EU's unequivocal political preference for renewable hydrogen, makes low carbon hydrogen progress less likely. Overall, the Regulation provides a positive contribution towards a regulatory framework for the decarbonization of the EU's natural gas infrastructure. It allows more time for doing so compared to the original EC Proposal and provides additional instruments for developing low carbon hydrogen. But it also confirms that unless low carbon hydrogen projects receive financial support and make significant progress before 2030, they are unlikely to happen at all. In fact, these projects would only be possible if investment is made now - rather than in the mid-2020s when Renewable and Natural Gases and Hydrogen Acquis is expected to be adopted. As private investors might be reluctant to invest and EU Member States might be reluctant to support these investments (at least until such time as the Acquis provides more clarity) and as the Regulation does not envisage significant EU financial support, any major low carbon hydrogen contribution towards meeting EU 2030 GHG emissions reduction targets is far from assured.

    The competition for carbon capture, storage, and utilisation is intensifying. Historically dominated by North America, the lead in this technology is now being seized by key players across Asia - reaching from Saudi Arabia to Japan. Unlike traditional energy (transition) geopolitics, this new arena prioritises technology, geology, and industrial leadership over raw materials. For Germany and Europe, the developments imply a need for more pragmatism in climate diplomacy and policy instruments. Moreover, to keep pace with competitors, policymakers should adopt a proactive approach to CCS vis-à-vis technology and industry.

  6. Carbon capture from energy-from-waste (EfW)

    Energy-from-waste (EfW) is a waste treatment process that combusts residual waste after re-use, recycling and composting to produce energy in the form of electricity and/or heat. In the UK, the EfW sector contributes around 3% of total national power output, but also 3.5% of overall territorial GHG emissions, making its decarbonisation critical. CCS has emerged as a promising decarbonisation solution. As waste is composed of fossil and biogenic content, retrofitting EfW with CCS has the potential to reduce emissions (by capturing fossil CO2) but also generate valuable negative emissions (by capturing biogenic CO2) which can contribute to the UK’s negative emissions targets. This study evaluates the business case for CCS in the UK EfW sector and assesses the technical feasibility of installing carbon capture technology at the facility level, taking the entire UK fleet into account. This work also identifies different methods to transport CO2 from EfW facilities to the nearest storage sites, using transport cost and emissions intensity of different transport modes (pipeline, rail, truck, ship) as metrics to evaluate what is economically feasible, and emissions-wise acceptable.

    Contracts for Difference (“CfDs”), previously mainly known as financial hedging instruments, are increasingly seen as the method of choice for incentivising investment in clean energy technologies. In the power sector, the CfD mechanism has emerged as the preferred arrangement to provide the required revenue support and stimulate the construction of new renewable power generating facilities. Following the successful experience with renewable CfDs (in the UK and several other countries), it has been recognised that the CfD concept may be suitable for applications beyond power generation. Work is in progress, initially mainly in Europe and Asia, on CfD-based business models for clean hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (“CCS”), initially to be applied to one of these technologies but potentially evolving into multi-technology schemes. As an increasingly important support scheme to facilitate the global energy transition, CfDs will become an integral part of future energy markets in the coming years

    As the power sector is the largest GHG emitter, it is important to investigate the fuels used in this sector. In 2023, coal was the primary source of electricity supply, accounting for 35.9%. Natural gas came in second, representing 23%. Asia has the largest number of coal plants in operation, standing at a capacity of 1,667 GW, which is more than seven times the next region, North and Latin America. Eastern Asia is the largest subregion, with an installed coal plant capacity of 1,261 GW, representing 76% of the total capacity. China leads the pack with the highest installed capacity, accounting for a staggering 68.17% of the total capacity. India comes in second place, with a respectable 14.22% installed capacity. The coal plants mentioned above emit an estimated 7,610 million tons of CO2 annually. China and India are the top emitters, responsible for 67.45% and 14.57% of the total emissions, respectively. Between 2000 and 2023, 151 GW of coal plants were retired in Asia and around 1,553 GW of plants were cancelled from 2010 to 2023. Nonetheless, 80 GW of coal plant plans have been announced, 105 GW in the pre-permit phase, 171 GW have been permitted, and 193 GW are currently under construction. This paper aims to investigate the potential of hydrogen technology and synergies with the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology in mitigating carbon emissions from coal power plants in Asia. The paper first looks at the environmental footprint of coal fired power plants, then considers ammonia substitution as a means of reducing that impact, and finally discusses the potential of CCS as a pathway to decarbonization, including an introduction to the pairing of the nascent Oxy-fuel combustion technology with CCS, potentially combined with green hydrogen production, as a decarbonization pathway.

    The risk of opposition from the population increasingly plays a role in choosing the climate policy measures to achieve the objective to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In Norway, there is a long-standing cross-party consensus that the development of new technologies will be crucial for solving climate challenges. Comparing public opinion surveys, Norwegians are significantly more convinced that new technology will solve problems induced by climate change, compared people in other European countries. A concrete example of such a technology is carbon capture and storage (CCS). Despite discussions about the costs of establishing the technology, there is a cross-party consensus in Norway that CCS is a good and suitable measure for reaching climate policy goals. In this article, we review the historical background that has led to this broad support in Nor-way. Furthermore, we look at how this has been expressed in the political parties’ attitudes towards CCS. There has been a long standing consensus among all major parties that CCS should be developed and deployed. We argue that this lay the foundation for the societal support for CCS. We analyze data from the Norwegian Coordinated Online panels for research on DEMocracy and governance (KODEM) to examine the attitudes toward CCS among citizens and three functional elites, namely elected representatives, bureaucrats, and journalists. We find that CCS receives strong support in all four groups, but that citizens and elected representative are more skeptical compared to bureaucrats and journalists. However, when looking at the factors that influence the perception of CCS, the pattern is the same for all four groups. The more technology optimistic a person is, the more positively they tend to perceive CCS as a method to fight climate change. We also find that those who think the political efforts to reduce greenhouse gases are too great are less positive about CCS com-pared to those who think the efforts are appropriate or too small. Overall, the analysis indicates that all four societal groups are technology optimistic and characterized by the same attitudes toward climate change. We discuss the role of technology optimism in Norway’s climate policy and the reasons for the high degree of political consensus across groups with different societal functions.

    Waste-to-energy (WtE) is a waste treatment process that incinerates waste to produce energy in the form of electricity and/or heat. WtE is considered one of the most environmentally-friendly methods of dealing with residual waste. The alternative to this process is waste dumping or landfilling, both of which lead to long-term adverse impacts on the environment. The capture of CO2 from WtE plants has received increasing attention over the past decade. Particularly, waste contains a substantial amount of biogenic carbon content (i.e., carbon which is naturally part of the carbon cycle), the capture and permanent removal of which leads to ‘negative emissions’. Considering the important role of carbon-negative solutions in achieving ambitious decarbonisation goals, retrofitting WtE plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS) will be a major starting point. This study assesses the potential for generating negative emissions from the European WtE fleet by assessing its retrofitability with CCS based on a number of criteria: i) an acceptable distance for CO2 transport between WtE plants and CCS clusters, hubs and CO2 storage sites, ii) availability of on-site space for CCS retrofit at the plant level, and iii) an appropriate plant size to ensure that CO2 capture is economically viable. Results show that if the entire existing European WtE fleet was retrofitted with CCS (around 100Mt of installed capacity), negative emissions in the range of -50.5 to – 70.6 MtCO2 can be generated per year. When CCS limitations are taken into account, these estimates are naturally reduced, with an achievable range between -20 to -30 MtCO2/a. Note that if waste that is currently mismanaged and/or is going to landfill is instead redirected towards WtE+CCS, higher negative emissions can be captured depending on the evolution of future waste management policies in Europe.

    To reach the goals of the Paris agreement, net carbon emissions must be reduced to zero by the second half of this century. To achieve this, some kind of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is needed. The paper gives an analysis of the interaction between extraction of fossil energy resources and CDR. If there is sufficient capacity for storing captured carbon, it will be optimal to have a period of negative net emissions. In this case cumulative extraction will not depend on climate costs, but will be higher the lower is the cost of CDR at low levels of CDR.

    Carbon capture, and storage (CCS) is identified as a critical technology to reduce CO2 emissions to achieve global climate goals. The potential of CCS as mitigation technology could be substantial yet deployment levels remain far below what is needed to make meaningful climate contributions. This paper identifies main commercial and non-commercial risks associated with CCS and analyse incentive mechanisms, regulatory and legal frameworks, types of industry and ownership structures, and public-private partnerships that are likely to emerge in different parts of the world to mitigate these risks and enable viable business models to scale up the technology.

    This year’s key themes outlook focuses heavily on the resilience of hydrocarbon markets in the face of disruptions of many kinds; how sustainability and energy transition are becoming a strategic political objective that reaches well beyond the energy economy; and the technology elements of that transition where we see significant movement in the next 12 months. In an ever more uncertain world, energy policy increasingly finds itself on the front line of election politics – significant in one of the densest election cycles for years. There is an abundance of moving parts in global energy economy and this report discusses those key elements – as seen through the lens of the energy trilemma, or even dilemma which we argue is evolving in 2024.

    Reaching carbon neutrality necessitates radical changes in terms of energy sources and industrial technologies. Some industries such as cement and lime emit significant amounts of process emissions, which will continue to be generated regardless of the type of energy source employed. One way to address such ‘hard-to-abate’ emissions is by employing carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies. Novel technologies such as CCUS undergoes continuous innovation before reaching high technological maturity and their commercial potential. To that extent, research and pilot projects represent an effective technology-push tool to minimize relevant uncertainties, risks and costs and increase the technology’s readiness level. In recent years, different CCUS demonstration projects have been implemented and financed differently. This study investigates the role of these projects in the future deployment of CCUS technologies, with focus on the European cement sector specifically. Overall, the paper aims to evaluate the status quo of decarbonization of the cement sector via CCUS and to discuss the required future activities and measures to enhance the technology’s integration into the sector.

    Climate policy in the European Union (EU) and Germany changed significantly with the adoption of net-zero emissions targets. A key new development is the growing importance of carbon management. The umbrella term includes not only the capture and storage of CO2 (carbon capture and storage, CCS), but also CO2 capture and utilisation (carbon capture and utilisation, CCU) as well as the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere (carbon dioxide removal, CDR). It is important to provide clarity when differentiating between these approaches and identifying their relation to so-called residual emissions and hard-to-abate emissions. This is particularly important because it will determine the overall ambition of climate policy as well as shape future policy designs and their distributional impacts. Current policy and legislative processes should ensure that carbon management does not delay the phase-out of fossil fuels. New policy initiatives present an opportunity to actively shape the interface between ambitious climate and industrial policy.

    Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a set of technologies that can contribute to reducing anthropogenic carbon emissions. Using the technology, the captured CO2 can either be permanently stored in underground geological sites or used for various industrial processes, including enhanced oil recovery (EOR), a process which has been widely adopted by oil and gas companies to improve oil production. While CCS coupled with EOR has potential to reduce emissions, a number of interrelated factors influence whether projects reduce emissions or lead to more emissions over time. Identifying these factors and their dynamic behaviour is fundamental for determining the project’s overall environmental performance. This paper introduces a ‘consequential’ carbon accounting method based on time-series analysis to investigate the environmental impacts of CCS-EOR projects. Among the different carbon accounting methods, a consequential approach allows quantifying the change in emissions system-wide, which is relevant for decision-making and project planning.

    Canada's position as a global leader in oil and gas production, as well as a proponent of emissions reduction, has led to significant support for the commercialization of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology. Viewed as the best way to reduce emissions from heavy industry, CCUS can also enable the value chain for technologies like direct air capture (DAC) which are seen as the future of carbon capture. Successful CCUS projects such as Shell's Quest and the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line have demonstrated that the operational expertise exists in Canada. To support the broad adoption of this technology, the government has introduced two fiscal and regulatory levers - carbon pricing and a CCUS investment tax credit (ITC). Federal output-based pricing system (OBPS) for carbon, introduced in 2018, will see the cost of CO2 escalate from CA$65/tCO2e in 2023 to CA$170/tCO2e by 2030. Despite some structural differences, there has been strong alignment on carbon pricing and CCUS incentives at the provincial and federal levels. In the province of Alberta, the likely hub of CCUS activity in Canada, the TIER regulation for industrial emitters has been deemed sufficient to avoid the federal large emitter program being applied as a backstop. On the other end of the carrot-stick dynamic, the ITC provides a rebate - approximately 20-30% - of project costs associated with CCUS implementation. The formation of the Pathways Alliance reflects the oilsands sector's trend towards collaboration as a way of supporting the sector's economic future. If successful, the alliance will see sharing of common costs like transportation and storage, thus reducing the risk for individual facilities and driving down the levelized cost of CCUS. The ITC in combination with carbon pricing provides enough of an incentive for firms to deploy CCUS. It may not be as lucrative for investors as the 45Q tax credit in the United States, but it does offer long-term value to heavy emitters when avoided costs of carbon are considered. To sustain momentum and ensure project delivery, additional economic levers may need to be pulled to narrow the investment gap. More importantly, it is crucial that federal and provincial governments offer carbon price certainty, for example through carbon contracts for differences (CCfDs). In addition, whether through programs like TIER or the federal OBPS, tightening rates and the expiry term for offsets and credits may need to be adjusted as required to balance supply and demand. With the government's carbon management strategy about to be released, there is CCUS momentum in Canada - delivering on it will require continued collaboration, project excellence and consistent fiscal and regulatory frameworks.

    Steelmaking is one of the two largest industrial contributors to climate change, accounting for 7-9% of global CO2 emissions. To achieve drastic emission reduction in the steel sector, integrating breakthrough low-carbon technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology and hydrogen (H2) solutions become necessary. However, the applicability of both solutions and their potential for lowering emissions hinges on several technical, economic and political factors. This paper sheds light on these factors and discusses the green steel ‘premium’ and which industries are likely to become early adopters of green steel products. This work also highlights the different forms of competition that greener steels would be subject to in the market, including implications on global trade, and how governments and the private sector can help mobilize investment into these solutions.

    The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) provides unprecedented support for climate and the clean energy transition in the US. This study evaluates relevant measures within the IRA, the 45Q tax credit in particular, and examines its likely effectiveness in mobilizing private finance for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in areas needed to reach net-zero. The study adapts and leverages the concept of ‘blended finance’ as one of few theoretical and prescriptive frameworks available to examine the role of public impact financing in hard-to-finance areas. The study’s objective is to evaluate the IRA’s impact to the CCUS/CDR investment landscape in the US and concludes that hard-to-mitigate risks are likely to persist.

    Zusammenfassung: The competition for carbon capture, storage, and utilisation is intensifying. Historically dominated by North America, the lead in this technology is now being seized by key players across Asia - reaching from Saudi Arabia to Japan. Unlike traditional energy (transition) geopolitics, this new arena prioritises technology, geology, and industrial leadership over raw materials. For Germany and Europe, the developments imply a need for more pragmatism in climate diplomacy and policy instruments. Moreover, to keep pace with competitors, policymakers should adopt a proactive approach to CCS vis-à-vis technology and industry

    The Trump administration has promised to stop the spiraling down of the U.S. coal industry that has been going on for several years. We discuss the origins of the decline of the U.S. coal industry and new policy interventions by the Trump administration. We find that a further decrease of coal consumption in the U.S. electricity sector must be expected because of the old and inefficient U.S. coal-fired generation fleet. By contrast, we adapt the EIA’s overly optimistic view and analyze three potential support schemes to assess whether under such assumptions they can turn the tide for the U.S. coal industry: i) revoking the Clean Power Plan (CPP); ii) facilitating access to the booming Asian market by developing West Coast coal export terminals; and iii) enhanced support for the Carbon Capture, Transport and Storage (CCTS) technology to provide a long-term perspective for domestic coal use while mitigating climate change. We investigate the short-term and long-term effects for U.S. coal production using a comprehensive partial equilibrium model of the world steam coal market, COALMOD-World (Holz et al. 2016). Revoking the CPP will stop the downward trend of steam coal consumption in the U.S., but will not lead to a return of U.S. coal production to the levels of the 2000s with more than 900 Mtpa. Even when assuming a continuously strong global coal demand and expanding U.S. coal export capacities, U.S. coal production will not return to its previous production highs. When global steam coal use, including U.S. consumption, is aligned with the 2°C climate target, U.S. steam coal production drops to around 100 Mtpa by 2030 and below 50 Mtpa by 2050, respectively, even if CCTS is available and exports via the U.S. West Coast are possible.

    Meeting the targets of climate change mitigation set by the Paris Agreement entails a huge transformation of the energy sector, as low- or no-carbon technologies must gradually substitute traditional, fossil-based technologies. In this perspective, the vast majority of energy analyses and scenarios project a fundamental role of Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS). However, uncertainty remains on the actual techno-economic feasibility of this technology: despite the considerable investment over the recent past, commercial maturity is yet to come. The main aim of this work is to evaluate the impacts of a progressively delayed deployment of CCS plants from a climate, energy, and economic perspective, focusing in particular on the power sector. This is carried out with the Integrated Assessment Model WITCH, exploring a wide set of long-term scenarios over mitigation targets ranging from 1.5°C to 4°C in terms of global temperature increase in 2100 with respect to the pre-industrial levels. The analysis shows that CCS will be a key mitigation option at a global level for carbon mitigation, achieving about 30% of the electricity mix in 2100 (with a homogeneous distribution across coal, gas, and biomass) if its deployment is unconstrained. If CCS deployment is delayed or forbidden, penetration cannot reach the optimal unconstrained level, resulting in a mix rearrangement, with a strong increase in renewables and, to a lesser extent, nuclear. The mitigation targets can be met, but policy costs without the implementation of CCS are from 35% to 72% higher than in the corresponding unconstrained scenarios.
