According to Ancieto Zaragoza, General Manager at Oficemen, the current development and deployment of CCS in Europe are insufficient. To achieve systemic deployment of CCS, the revised TEN-E Regulation needs to incentivise investments and maintain flexibility to accommodate CCS technologies across the entire value chain.
