A new JRC study sheds light on how capturing carbon emissions from industry, as well as storing or using them, will contribute to achieving the EU's 2050 climate neutrality goal.

JRC scientists assessed the socio-economic impact, developed energy scenarios on decarbonisation, investigated land use and forest sinks, analysed higher raw materials demand, and provided evidence on the cost of inaction.

Severe and prolonged drought events have affected Europe for more than two years and northern Africa for six years, causing water shortages and hampering vegetation growth, according to a report by the Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).
