Negative emissions will be needed on an increased scale to meet the
EU’s climate targets, in particular climate neutrality by 2050. This
Policy Insight examines different policy options for the EU to support
the deployment of negative emissions technologies. After presenting an
overview of measures to support negative emissions around the world, the
EU’s climate policy frameworks are reviewed from the perspective of
(potentially) integrating negative emissions. This is followed by a
review of specific policy measures to support negative emissions in the
EU. The paper recommends a wide portfolio of policy measures over time,
to account for technology differences and the changing demands of
climate policy for different time horizons as climate neutrality
approaches (followed by net-negative emissions thereafter).
This Policy Insight builds on a scoping paper by CEPS (Elkerbout
& Bryhn, 2021) that discussed the need for negative emissions more
in detail, as well as various options for negative emissions technology.
