CCS for Energy Security and Net Zero: allowing effective use of fossil fuels and biomass
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment plans need to be developed with a greater emphasis on CCS’s essential role in allowing effective use of gas, coal, and other fuels such as biomass and waste in delivering energy security. ‘Effective’ can be summarised as getting the maximum value out of the minimum fossil fuel use and also progressively expanding the amount of CCS applied to that fossil fuel use to 100%, via direct capture at source or recapture from the atmosphere, in order to get net zero GHG emissions by 2050.
