Reducing CO2

emissions from new cars

Equipping power plants to store

CO2 underground

To cut their CO2 emissions, industrial installations and power plants could in future:

new technology to capture CO2;

it "permanently and safely underground" in geological formations.

will be used to finance 12 commercial demonstration projects by Eu.

If there are storage sites available,

if the transport facilities are viable,

if it is technically and economically feasible to retrofit the power station for CO2 capture

have to guarantee for plants with an output of more than 300 Megawatts a suitable space on the installation site for the equipment necessary to capture and compress CO2.

-manufacturers will begiven interim targets ofensuring that averageCO2 emissions of:

- the compromise introduced a long term target for 2020 forthe new car fleet of averageemissions of 95 g CO2/km.

65 % In January 2012

75 % In January 2013

80 % In January 2014

100 % From 2015

Manufacturers will have to pay fines (so called "

"), if their average emissions of CO2 exceed the specific emission target set by the regulation:

FROM 2012 UNTIL 2018

€ 5 1 gram of CO2

€ 15 2 grams of CO2

€ 25 3 grams of CO2

€ 95 4 grams of CO2

FROM 2019

€ 95 for each gram

Each new passenger car with CO2 emissions of less than 50 g CO2/km shall count as:

3.5 cars In 2012 and 2013

2.5 cars In 2014

1.5 cars In 2015

1 car From 2016
