🏭🍃Takeaways from the Baltic Carbon Forum!
Clara spoke on Nordic industrial #decarbonisation & public perception, while Janis highlighted #CCS as a scalable #climatesolution for hard-to-abate industries.
Collaboration & knowledge sharing remain key to accelerate CCS deployment across the region.

⚠ Yesterday, #EU environment ministers agreed on a weak statement of intent, setting a 2035 emissions reduction range of 66.25-72.5%.
But, it should reflect the full range of ambition, including a 2035 target of 79% reductions.

ICC is needed, but it should only cover spillover carbon costs on non-emitting electricity.
