Dutch SDE++ scheme would abate more emissions if it was technology-specific
The Dutch Government published the results of its SDE++ support scheme. This was the first time the mechanism accepted bids based on CO2 reductions delivered, rather than generating capacity added. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) was therefore eligible to receive Government support. And it immediately received 70% of the total €4.6bn budget. €99m is going … Continue reading Dutch SDE++ scheme would abate more emissions if it was technology-specific
