"Mr President, I agree that we cannot ignore the reality of coal and the size of reserves and the dependence on coal in many Member States and across the world: Russian, China, Australia, the United States. As we drive renewable technologies, carbon sequestration technologies must go hand-in-hand.
The Commission’s proposal of two years ago of up to 12 CCS plants had awaited funding to date. I was very pleased with the agreement in relation to my report on 300 million allowances for driving the potential of this technology. My original, rather modest proposal, using the generous new installations reserve, was so enthusiastically supported by Mr Davies and other colleagues that I amended my own report with significantly higher figures.
Thank you to the presidency, thank you to the Commission, thank you to Mr Davies, Ms McAvan and colleagues for your support on this point.
As we rapidly exhaust our planet’s capacity to absorb CO
through biological sequestration, we look to our own ingenuity with new sequestration technologies, particularly the potentially transforming technology of CCS, if through these 12 projects the environmental integrity and commercial viability of these processes is proven."@en1
