Abstract

The paper presents policy analysis regarding the prospects of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the energy system of the European Union (EU) up to 2030. The analysis follows a systemic approach, investigating a series of alternative scenarios using the large scale energy systems model PRIMES for all member states (MS) of the EU. Measures supporting the European environmental and energy policy were combined with policies concerning the promotion of the technology in order to identify the economic and environmental implications and the rate of deployment of CCS in the European energy system.
