據(jù)油氣新聞網(wǎng)6月11日?qǐng)?bào)道，歐盟委員會(huì)表示，該委員會(huì)正在制定計(jì)劃，以加快對(duì)捕獲和儲(chǔ)存二氧化碳排放的投資。由于歐盟正準(zhǔn)備到2050年將其溫室氣體凈排放量削減至零。

在一項(xiàng)關(guān)于該計(jì)劃的公眾咨詢中，歐盟委員會(huì)表示，由于開發(fā)儲(chǔ)存地點(diǎn)的高成本等因素，用于捕獲和儲(chǔ)存二氧化碳的地下或在工業(yè)中使用的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施發(fā)展不夠快。

為了努力促進(jìn)該行業(yè)的發(fā)展，歐盟委員會(huì)表示，它將制定一項(xiàng)歐盟戰(zhàn)略，其中可能包括2040年和2050年二氧化碳儲(chǔ)存基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的目標(biāo)，或歐盟范圍內(nèi)關(guān)于二氧化碳質(zhì)量和碳捕獲基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

碳捕集與封存(CCS)項(xiàng)目在歐盟尚處于起步階段，在德國等國一直存在爭(zhēng)議，德國政府過去曾阻撓過啟動(dòng)項(xiàng)目的努力。一些活動(dòng)團(tuán)體也反對(duì)這項(xiàng)技術(shù)，理由是它可能被用來延長(zhǎng)燃煤電廠和污染行業(yè)的使用壽命。

但是，隨著各國制定如何實(shí)現(xiàn)凈零排放的計(jì)劃，從大氣中去除二氧化碳的計(jì)劃重新獲得了一些吸引力——這將需要一些二氧化碳去除量來平衡航空或農(nóng)業(yè)等無法將二氧化碳產(chǎn)量降至零的行業(yè)的剩余排放量。

據(jù)歐盟委員會(huì)的文件稱，減排仍然是歐盟氣候政策的重中之重。

歐盟已經(jīng)制定了目標(biāo)，要求各國擴(kuò)大森林面積和其他能夠吸收和儲(chǔ)存二氧化碳的自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。

布魯塞爾在3月份提出了一個(gè)目標(biāo)，即到2030年歐盟每年能夠儲(chǔ)存5000萬噸二氧化碳，并表示到2050年這一目標(biāo)可能需要達(dá)到5.5億噸，以實(shí)現(xiàn)歐盟的凈零排放目標(biāo)。

相比之下，根據(jù)歐盟統(tǒng)計(jì)局的數(shù)據(jù)，2022年歐盟能源使用產(chǎn)生的二氧化碳排放總量接近24億噸。

EU plans strategy to increase CO2 emissions investment

The European Commission is working on plans to speed up investment in capturing and storing carbon dioxide emissions, it said, as the bloc prepares to slash its net greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050.

In a public consultation on the plans, the Commission said infrastructure to capture and store CO2 underground or use it in industries was not developing fast enough, hampered by factors including high costs to develop storage sites.

To try and boost the industry, the Commission said it will produce an EU strategy that could include 2040 and 2050 targets for CO2 storage infrastructure, or EU-wide standards on CO2 quality and access to carbon capture infrastructure.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects are in their infancy in the EU and have a history of controversy in countries including Germany, where states blocked past efforts to launch projects. Some campaign groups have also opposed the technology on the grounds that it could be used to extend the life of coal power plants and polluting industries.

But plans to remove CO2 from the atmosphere have regained some traction as countries map out how to achieve net zero emissions - which will require some CO2 removals to balance out remaining emissions from industries that cannot reduce their CO2 output to zero, like aviation or agriculture.

"Emission reduction remains the highest priority of EU climate policies," the Commission document said.

The EU already has targets in place requiring countries to expand forests and other natural ecosystems that can absorb and store CO2. 

Brussels proposed a target in March for the EU to be able to store 50 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2030, and has said this may need to reach 550 million tonnes by 2050 to hit the bloc's net zero emissions goal.

For comparison, the EU's total CO2 emissions from energy use were nearly 2.4 billion tonnes in 2022, according to Eurostat data.
