SCIENCE ADVICE FOR POLICY
BY EUROPEAN ACADEMIES

New topic: Novel carbon capture and utilisation technologies – research and climate aspects

SAPEA experts from across Europe are contributing their knowledge and expertise on this topic.

This work follows a request by the College of Commissioners, led by Commissioner Cañete. The SAM High Level Group (HLG) have been asked to provide scientific advice based on existing research on the climate mitigation potential of carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) technologies to inform future policy decisions including financial support.

The HLG will deliver an opinion by the end of April 2018.

The scoping paper for this topic is available to download from the Scientific Advice Mechanism website.
