Climate & energy
Our reliance on fossil fuels for energy is hampering international efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The challenge of climate change can only be met through the fundamental redesign and transformation of our energy system.

Our climate and energy programme focuses on the legal and regulatory barriers to such a transformation, and explores the tools that will achieve a rapid decarbonisation of our economies. Coal power is globally the single biggest threat to a secure climate, and we are working across Europe to oppose new coal power stations unless they capture the carbon they produce.

Carbon capture and storage

 Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology involves the capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by power stations and industry, transport of CO2 in compressed liquid form through a network of pipelines, and injection of CO2 underground for permanent geological storage. The components of CCS are available technologies but CCS has not yet been demonstrated at commercial scale. CCS has important potential as a climate solution for fossil fuel power stations and industry – in the transition to a low-carbon energy system.
