Carbon capture: analyzing the potential of Negative Emissions Technologies

In 2015, the Paris Agreement adopted the goal of limiting the rise in global temperature to 1.5ºC before the end of the 21st century. This goal was supported from a scientific point of view by the United Nations Special Report on Global Warming in 2018. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to move towards the goal of being net zero emissions by 2050, and Negative Emissions Technologies will be essential.

The Repsol Foundation Energy Transition Chair at the Rovira i Virgili University is organizing this webinar in which these technologies and their CO2 removal potential will be explored.

Webinar: Europe's role in the post IRA global energy context

The US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) differs fundamentally from the EU Green Deal as an industrial policy and response to climate change. The EU quantifies numerous climate targets to set strict limits on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, the U.S. aims to develop new technologies that mitigate climate change competitively than conventional ones through tax credits and market incentives, rather than through heavy regulation. This could put pressure on European countries to adopt similar policies to remain competitive.

This webinar will discuss the effects of the IRA in Europe, taking as a starting point the discussion of the brief produced by EsadeGeo on the topic.
