Europe must act on the Paris Climate Agreement ’s ( IPCC ) advice on carbon capture and storage (CCS) in order to achieve the reductions required by CO2 , says former European Parliament Rapporteur Miguel Arias . We proposed instead the creation of a state agency, something akin to that created to deliver the 2012 London Olympics, that will take the lead in building the first pipelines, opening up storage sites, and letting contracts for new CCS-equipped gas power stations. In 2014 , the IPCC warned that the cost of mitigation measures to keep the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concentration to 450ppm by 2100 will rise by 138% without CCS. Davies also supports the report’s recommendation that a UK state agency be created to build the first pipelines and let contracts for power stations.
