Meyer-Ohlendorf, Nils 2020: EU Framework for CO₂ Removals – Targets and Commitments. Berlin: Ecologic Institute.

"The new EU climate architecture should include a separate CDR target that builds primarily on restoring degraded ecosystems. This target should be legally binding and quantified – for the EU and Member States. It should not be a combined target which treats reductions and CDRs equally. This EU's CDR target should be enshrined in the European Climate Law."

"This €750 billion package – along with a revamped work programme for 2021-2027 totalling €1.1 trillion – pledges to keep the allocated spending on climate mitigation at 25%. Could this new recovery plan help to facilitate the large-scale deployment of CCS to reach our climate mitigation goals?"

Rickels, Wilfried; Proelss, Alexander; Geden, Oliver; Burhenne, Julian; Fridahl, Mathias (2020): The Future of (Negative) Emissions Trading in the European Union. In Kiel Working Paper (2164).

"This conceptual paper explores various design options for integrating negative emissions technologies (NETs) into the EU ETS. We discuss their potential implications for emissions trading at large and address the specificity of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS); repealing the provision that installations exclusively using biomass are not covered by the ETS Directive, BE(CCS) installations could in principle fall within the scope of the ETS Directive."
