Carbon sequestration is a distinct technological option to control carbon emissions, complementing other measures such as improvements in energy efficiency and utilization of renewable energy sources. Carbon sequestration is most applicable to large combustion plants and specifically to thermal...

The utilisation of CO2 as technological fluid or as feedstock in chemical processes and in biotechnological applications has the potential to be a very efficient tool when merged with development of innovative and feasible technologies that have lessintensive energy and materials consumption and...

The acceleration of development and the demonstration of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are among the key objectives of the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) of the European Union, which aims at enabling the rapid transition to a low-carbon economy. A critical element...

The objective of this report is to present and discuss the results from the Administrative Arrangement (AA) "LULUCF 2030", aimed at supporting DG CLIMA on the following issues: 1) Implementation the EU LULUCF Decision 529/2013, especially with regard to evaluating the estimates reported by MS on...

The Land Use Modelling Platform (LUMP) has been chosen to simulate land-use changes under a subset of scenarios (A1B). The modular structure of this platform, together with its high spatial resolution (100m), makes LUMP a suitable tool in the context of PESETAII. First, it guarantees high...

Future costs of low carbon energy technologies differ widely depending on assumptions and methods used. This report addresses this gap by presenting internally consistent trajectories of capital investment costs to 2050 for selected low carbon energy technologies. In order to do so, it combines...

This document complements the Global Energy and Climate Outlook 2018 report. It provides the detailed GHG and energy balances for the Reference, the central 2°C and 1.5°C scenarios described in the main report. The results displayed in this report have been produced with the global energy &...

The energy sector accounts for the lion's share (55 %) of greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union (EU). While EU emissions had fallen by 22.1 % in 2015 compared with 1990, and continue to fall, the bloc's economy grew by 27 % over that period. Since the Renewable Energy Directive (RED)...
