EMISSIONS
Lithuania has had its first meeting on its new carbon capture, transportation, and utilisation platform, which aims to accelerate the development of CO2 technologies, the Ministry of Energy said.
- Additionally, the platform intends to create a supportive regulatory framework, attract investment, and foster international cooperation regarding CCS and synthetic fuels.
- Lithuania’s industrial sector emits around 4 mn/t CO2 annually, a significant portion of which can be captured and repurposed, according to the ministry.
- The platform will also serve as a hub for industry, government, and academia to collaborate on carbon capture solutions.
- The move will help Lithuania reduce emissions, enhance industrial sustainability, and advance climate goals, the ministry added.
