ECCP WG III (CCS): objectiveECCP WG III (CCS): objective

The general objective of the Working Group is The general objective of the Working Group is to explore geological carbon capture and to explore geological carbon capture and storage as a mitigation option by:storage as a mitigation option by:

reviewing the potential, economics and risks of CCS; identifying regulatory needs and barriers and

exploring the elements of an enabling regulatory framework for the development of environmentally sound CCS;

identifying other barriers that could impede the development of environmentally sound policies to advance CCS, and policies to enable the development of environmentally sound CCS.

Notes: Data exclude emissions and removals from land-use, land-use change and forestry. All EU-15 Member States provided projections assuming existing domestic policies and measures. Several countries provided projections with additional domestic policies and measures. For following Member States the

additional effects of the use of Kyoto mechanisms is included: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Spain),. For EU-15 the effect of use of Kyoto mechanisms is calculated based on information from these nine countries. Projections for Poland cover only CO2 and

N2O and include LULUCF. Projections for Spain cover only CO2. Projections for Cyprus and Malta are not available. Source: EEA, 2005
