No mr Barnier, to keep global warming, the EU goal is not to decarbonize Europe by 2050. That is wrong and too late too. The IPCC SR15 report says that all climate scenario's, that stay below 1,5 degrees, all use CCS.

So Europa has to focus on implementing CCS for all large CO2 emitters.



You have to tell climate activists that mandatory CCS is the first large climate action for Europe.

The technology is ready, but there is room for innovation. Start with the new Dutch coal power plants, they are already prepared for CCS at their construction.



A supply chain CO2 tax will help create a level playing field for businesses that do not yet apply CCS.



The second big step is do something positive for power consumers. Make netmetering a citizens right. Not only for rooftop solar panels, but also for the power of family sized lots of wind farms and solar farms, somewhere on the national or regional grid. The really big revolution here is that finally citizens also get some benefit from their climate action, from the EU.

Because owning a lot in a wind or solar farm, means that home, has its power at cost price. about 4 cents per kWh. No subsidy required.

The regional or national grid as a public road for renewable power.

And stay with the EU wide preference for renewable power on grids and markets.



Remember, mandatory CCS, and the supply chain CO2 tax, will make fossil power more expensive than renewable power.

So, climate activists should be happy with this.



A third important climate action with several additional win wins, is creating new prosperity in Northern Africa, with growing energy crops there.

Europa has to help that coastal area with more fresh water plants, and stimulate the new agriculture, and trade with Europes coal power plants, with CCS, to burn that biomass, and mineralize the CO2 in some way.

The new prosperity and the new jobs in Northern Africa, will support climate refugees to find a new living there, reducing migration in a sustainable way



This is the BECCS route the IPCC reports also concludes to be necessary



Both CCS and growing energy crops should be exported all over the world, including China. Because decarbonizing Europe only is not enough for a rich group of states
