Commission to allocate funds for CCS projects

Commission proposals to allocate €1.05 billion to seven carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects in Europe were presented recently to Member States. The projects in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, the UK, Italy and France would each receive up to €180 million in EU funds. (See June Eurobrief).
