The European Commission has approved 15 energy projects which will significantly contribute to the economic recovery of the EU, while increasing our security of energy supply and substantially reduce CO2 emissions. With the decision, the Commission grants EUR 1 billion to six Carbon Capture and Storage projects and EUR 565 million to nine offshore wind energy projects.
EEPR CCS PROJECTS | Project name and short description | Applicant name (country) | Maximum Community contribution according to EC decision (in M EUR) | | Jaenschwalde Demonstration of the Oxyfuel and the post combustion technology on an existing power plant site. Two storage and transport options are analysed. | Vattenfall (Germany) | 180 | | Porto-Tolle Installation of CCS technology on a new 660MW coal power plant. The capture part will treat flue gases corresponding to 250 MW electrical output. Storage in an offshore saline aquifer nearby. | Enel Ingegneria e Innovazione S.p.A. (Italy) | 100 | | Rotterdam Demonstration of the full chain of CCS on a capacity of 250MW equivalent using post-combustion technology. Storage of CO2 in a depleted offshore gas field near the plant. The project is part of the Rotterdam Climate initiative that aims at developing a CO2 transport and storage infrastructure for the region. | Maasvlakte J.V. / E.ON Benelux and Electrabel (Netherlands) | 180 | | Belchatow Demonstration of the entire CCS chain on flue gases corresponding to 250MW electrical output in a new supercritical unit of largest lignite-fired plant in Europe. Three different saline aquifer storage sites will be explored nearby. | PGE EBSA (Poland) | 180 | | Compostilla Demonstration of the full CCS chain using Oxyfuel and fluidised bed technology on a 30MW pilot plant which to be upscaled by December 2015 to a demonstration plant of more than 320 MW. Storage in a saline aquifer nearby. | ENDESA Generacion S.A.(Spain) | 180 | | Hatfield Demonstration of CCS on a new, 900 MW IGCC power plant. Storage in an offshore gas field nearby. The project is part of the Yorkshire Forward initiative that aims at developing a CO2 transport and storage infrastructure for the region. | Powerfuel Power Ltd. (UK) | 180 |
