Hungarian minister shared what is needed to reach decarbonisation goals
Change language:
Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) is essential for reaching decarbonisation goals, Csaba Lantos, the energy minister, said on Saturday.
Carbon dioxide emissions have fallen by 37 percent in Hungary since 1990, and the National Energy and Climate Strategy (read more about that HERE) calls for a 50 percent reduction by 2030, he said at a presentation of a book on carbon dioxide storage and utilisation opportunities in Hungary. Last year, Hungary was the fourth most effective EU member state in reducing carbon dioxide emissions per unit of energy production, he said, having reduced this ratio by 8.6 percent. Only the three Benelux countries outperformed Hungary, he added.
Citing a recent Hungarian study, Lantos said CCUS may be the only way of ensuring the viability of existing power plants and industrial facilities, which can be retrofitted with carbon dioxide capture technology. Electricity generated by renewable energy can replace some processes, but not all industrial processes can be made electricity-based, he said, citing the examples of heavy industry, long-distance transport and cement production, which would rely of CCUS to achieve zero emissions.
The green agenda is a scam and political. Many scientists spoke out about it. It is largely ignored by the media.
In Europe, we will pay a very high price (quality of life etc) if this insane and hostile agenda is not stopped.
