The European Parliament has put itself on a collision course with several
member states, including the UK, after the environment committee voted for new
legislation that would effectively ban all new coal-fired power stations built
without carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies after 2015.While all member states are pushing for the rapid roll out of CCS
technologies capable of sequestering carbon emissions underground, countries
such as the UK and Poland have argued that with the technology still unproven
blocking new plants without CCS could lead to increased energy insecurity.
