Transport is the largest producer of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the European Union (EU), contributing almost 30% to the total. Heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs), primarily commercial trucks and buses, are responsible for 26% of these emissions. Adoption of electric vehicles is expanding in the light-duty sector in Europe, but the heavy-duty sector relies almost entirely on internal combustion (diesel) powertrains; in 2021, zero emission HDVs represented only 1% of new HDV registrations in the EU.

As of October 2021, more than 250 companies have partnered with DOE in the Better Plants Program and Challenge. The Better Plants 2021 Progress Update reports that, to date, partners have saved more than $9 billion dollars and 1.9 quadrillion Btus of energy. Over 60 partners have met their initial energy reduction goals, and many have gone on to set new goals with the U.S Department of Energy. In 2021, twenty new companies joined the program, seven Better Plants partners achieved their energy intensity reduction goals and three partners that previously achieved their energy-intensity reduction goals repledged with new goals.

When we talk about the green shift or new tech solutions for addressing climate change, we assume, hope, and proclaim engineers and other STEM professionals as the custodians of our smooth transition towards sustainability and net-zero emissions. But we are stuck in a paradox. On the one hand, politicians and industry are sounding the alarm about the catastrophic shortage of engineers, IT, and STEM talents to address the current and future challenges. On the other hand, it is unclear what concrete competences and skills the industry needs to drive the green shift. Squeezed in between are the higher education institutions, racing against time to adapt curricula to match the skills provision with the skills demand.

This white paper explores the climate impact of biogenic CO2 use or storage, the main utilisation avenues and perspective markets opportunities. While detailing current CO2 requirements, the paper underlines current obstacles to and opportunities for the further take-up of BIO-CCS and Bio-CCU solutions, summarises best cases, and concludes with a set of policy recommendations to define a suitable legislative framework for the further deployment of BIO-CCUS solutions, necessary to meeting Europe’s mid-century climate neutrality target.
