‘A further regulatory boost is vital for CCS’
by Ioannis Michaletos
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is not very popular among environmental organisations. Greenpeace, for example, regards CCS only as an excuse of the energy industry to continue producing fossil-fuel based energy. WWF does not necessarily object to CCS, but does not want to see it subsidised. The Bellona Foundation, a well-known anti-nuclear NGO with offices in four countries, is an exception. Its President Frederic Hauge even declares that he is prepared to go ‘on the barricades’ for CCS. In this interview he explains why he believes CCS is indispensable – and should be boosted.
