".
The ‘climate and energy package’ also includes a proposal for a directive on carbon capture and storage. The purpose of geological storage is to provide an alternative to the release of CO
into the atmosphere by containing it permanently underground.
The Commission proposes that all new power plants should, when built, be capable of being equipped with carbon capture facilities. This technology, despite being a matter for debate, may help to achieve negative emissions, complementing renewable energies. The rapporteur considers that the priority must, however, be to use it to deal with the problem of coal, which is responsible for 24% of CO
emissions in Europe.
Although we were doubtful about certain amendments, which are technically controversial, we voted in favour of the European Parliament’s position. However, we regard this position as excessively regulatory, particularly with regard to the independence of Member States, especially in an area in which scientific and technical knowledge is still quite limited. We regret that the necessary emphasis has not been placed on the enormous research, development and demonstration effort that still needs to be made. For this reason, the recommended timescales are overly ambitious, unless very substantial public funding is approved within a few years."@en1
