Amendment 83 #

Paragraph 9
9. Notes however that those pathways rely to a large extent on carbon removal technologies, including through carbon capture and storage that needs to be further deployed and direct air capture, that yet havehas yet to prove theirits feasibility at industrial scale; considers that the EU net-zero strategy should not overly rely on suchnegative emissions technologies, which should complement direct emissions reductions; believes that further action by 2030 is needed if the Union is to avoid relying on carbon removal technologies that would entail significant risks for ecosystems, biodiversity and food security as confirmed by the IPCC 1.5 report;

Paragraph 9 a (new)
9 a. Points out, as highlighted in the Commission Communication "A Clean Planet for All", that the deployment of carbon capture and storage in the EU energy and industrial sector can contribute to direct emission reductions through addressing industrial process emissions for which few or no other economically feasible alternatives for emissions mitigation are available, and for the production of low-carbon hydrogen;
