Question for written answer E-000437/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Eero Heinäluoma (S&D)
On the path towards progress in the capture, storage and utilisation of biogenic carbon dioxide there are still many bottlenecks, in the shape, for example, of technology, energy sufficiency and profitability.
Its capture, however, is still vital if we want such ‘negative’ emissions, i.e. to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Its utilisation, meanwhile, is an essential component of the hydrogen economy, for example, which can help with the production from biogenic carbon dioxide of fossil-free chemicals, plastics and fuels, and so on, replacing fossil-based raw materials. It is essential for both capture and utilisation that biomass retains its carbon-neutral status in the production of bioenergy.
- 1.How will the Commission ensure that there are sufficient incentives in place for the capture, storage and utilisation of biogenic carbon dioxide and that there is a market benefit for fossil-free products?
- 2.What is the timeline for the actions that the Commission might propose?
