据油气新闻网6月11日报道，欧盟委员会表示，该委员会正在制定计划，以加快对捕获和储存二氧化碳排放的投资。由于欧盟正准备到2050年将其温室气体净排放量削减至零。
在一项关于该计划的公众咨询中，欧盟委员会表示，由于开发储存地点的高成本等因素，用于捕获和储存二氧化碳的地下或在工业中使用的基础设施发展不够快。
为了努力促进该行业的发展，欧盟委员会表示，它将制定一项欧盟战略，其中可能包括2040年和2050年二氧化碳储存基础设施的目标，或欧盟范围内关于二氧化碳质量和碳捕获基础设施的标准。
碳捕集与封存(CCS)项目在欧盟尚处于起步阶段，在德国等国一直存在争议，德国政府过去曾阻挠过启动项目的努力。一些活动团体也反对这项技术，理由是它可能被用来延长燃煤电厂和污染行业的使用寿命。
但是，随着各国制定如何实现净零排放的计划，从大气中去除二氧化碳的计划重新获得了一些吸引力——这将需要一些二氧化碳去除量来平衡航空或农业等无法将二氧化碳产量降至零的行业的剩余排放量。
据欧盟委员会的文件称，减排仍然是欧盟气候政策的重中之重。
欧盟已经制定了目标，要求各国扩大森林面积和其他能够吸收和储存二氧化碳的自然生态系统。
布鲁塞尔在3月份提出了一个目标，即到2030年欧盟每年能够储存5000万吨二氧化碳，并表示到2050年这一目标可能需要达到5.5亿吨，以实现欧盟的净零排放目标。
相比之下，根据欧盟统计局的数据，2022年欧盟能源使用产生的二氧化碳排放总量接近24亿吨。

EU plans strategy to increase CO2 emissions investment
The European Commission is working on plans to speed up investment in capturing and storing carbon dioxide emissions, it said, as the bloc prepares to slash its net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050.
In a public consultation on the plans, the Commission said infrastructure to capture and store CO2 underground or use it in industries was not developing fast enough, hampered by factors including high costs to develop storage sites.
To try and boost the industry, the Commission said it will produce an EU strategy that could include 2040 and 2050 targets for CO2 storage infrastructure, or EU-wide standards on CO2 quality and access to carbon capture infrastructure.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects are in their infancy in the EU and have a history of controversy in countries including Germany, where states blocked past efforts to launch projects. Some campaign groups have also opposed the technology on the grounds that it could be used to extend the life of coal power plants and polluting industries.
But plans to remove CO2 from the atmosphere have regained some traction as countries map out how to achieve net zero emissions - which will require some CO2 removals to balance out remaining emissions from industries that cannot reduce their CO2 output to zero, like aviation or agriculture.
"Emission reduction remains the highest priority of EU climate policies," the Commission document said.
The EU already has targets in place requiring countries to expand forests and other natural ecosystems that can absorb and store CO2.
Brussels proposed a target in March for the EU to be able to store 50 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2030, and has said this may need to reach 550 million tonnes by 2050 to hit the bloc's net zero emissions goal.
For comparison, the EU's total CO2 emissions from energy use were nearly 2.4 billion tonnes in 2022, according to Eurostat data.
