Ngos Want Emission Standards For Energy Sector

摘要

The European Union's efforts to 'decarbonise' the energy sector would benefit from a real boost if limiting values for CO_2 emissions were imposed for the largest power plants, believes the ecological organisations E3G, Green Alliance, Bellona Europa, ClientEarth and WWF. According to a study ordered by these NGOs, if CO_2 emission performance standards (EPS) were imposed on all large European power plants during the 2010-2020 period, greenhouse gas emissions from this sector could bernreduced by 800 million tonnes of CO_2 per year by 2020.
