Article 9 a – paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Member States shall ensure that all electricity-generating combustion plants designed with a rated output capacity of 300 megawatts or more, and that are expected to emit in excess of 500g CO2/Kwh, for which the original construction licence is applied for on or after 1 January 2015, are operated such that at least 90% of their CO2 emissions are captured then transported and stored in a suitable geological formation, or that an equivalent reduction of emissions into the atmosphere is achieved by other means.
