59. Recognises the importance of applying CCS technology, where feasible, if the carbon emission reduction goals are to be achieved at the least possible cost, and acknowledges that procedural delays and financial shortfalls, as well as lack of commitment on the part of certain Member States, are likely to delay achievement of the European Council's ambition of having up to 12 CCS demonstration projects in operation by 2015; calls on the Commission to publish a CCS Action Plan; recognises that CCS will not be appropriate in all circumstances, even by 2050, and may well be limited to large installations and the avoidance of industrial p ...[+++]rocess emissions; calls for support on breakthrough technologies in other areas in order to increase energy efficiency and lower energy consumption, and provide solutions outside the CCS framework;

‘carbon capture and storage’ means the capture of carbon dioxide (CO) from industrial installations, its transport to a storage site and its injection into a suitable underground geological formation for the purposes of permanent storage.

Broader policy issues surrounding this subject, such as possible options to encourage CCS demonstration and early deployment, are discussed in the Consultative Communication on the Future of Carbon Capture and Storage in Europe[6] and further taken up by the recent European Parliament Resolution on implementation report 2013: developing and applying carbon capture and storage technology in Europe[7].

This directive, known as the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Directive, establishes a legal framework that helps tackle climate change through the environmentally safe geological storage of CO

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) refers to the process by which from large sources like power plants, CO is captured, compressed and transported to and injected into geological storage sites, which are generally deep underground layers of porous rock capped with impermeable rock, in ways that ensure the CO does not leak out into the atmosphere.
