Danish think tank CONCITO urges prioritizing carbon storage

22 Aug 2025
Message — Stop additional support for carbon-based e-fuels and raise aviation blending targets. Allow carbon removals to count toward compliance to reach full carbon neutrality.123
Why — Focusing on carbon storage prevents the inefficient allocation of limited clean electricity.4
Impact — European industrial sectors face higher transition costs if aviation hoards green hydrogen.5

CONCITO urges full monitoring for all aviation climate impacts

29 Jul 2024
Message — CONCITO argues it is crucial to maintain the full geographic scope for monitoring non-CO2 aviation effects. Excluding long-haul flights would miss approximately 66 % of contrail impact, the biggest contributor to climate effects. This data is essential to guide future legislative proposals.12
Why — Reliable data would strengthen the case for their proposed climate policy actions.34
Impact — Airlines operating long-haul routes would lose exemptions from mandatory climate impact reporting.5

CONCITO Urges EU to Prioritize Carbon Storage Over E-Fuels

30 Aug 2023
Message — The organization calls for separate targets for emission reductions and removals to ensure climate integrity. They also demand mandatory reporting of biogenic emissions and stricter regulations on biomass use.12
Why — Focusing on storage over utilization allows for a faster and more cost-effective energy transition.3
Impact — The biomass and e-fuel sectors would lose subsidies and face higher compliance costs.45
