Notes however that those pathways rely to a large extent on carbon removal technologies, including through carbon capture and storage and direct air capture, that yet have to prove their feasibility. Underlines that carbon capture and storage takes a key position in the IPCC report and should therefore be seriously considered as an option for emission reduction in the EU; considers that the EU net-zero strategy should not overly rely on such 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;
