Assessment of the European Potential for Geological Storage of CO2 from Fossil Fuel Combustion

Power generation is the largest individual sector contribution approximately one third of the<br>anthropogenic CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Nearly all power generation from fossil fuel takes<br>place at major facilities, facilitating CO2 capture and sequestration. Total EU (+Norway) emissions<br>of CO2 from thermal power generation were some 950 million tonnes in 1990, the Kyoto agreement<br>referente level.
