It will produce another 4 gigatons of CO2 in 2020 when China will produce 10. Also, three solutions exist to achieve the goal of a low-carbon energy system in 2050: renewables, CCS and nuclear. The use of coal and gas to compensate for the decline in the use of nuclear power, following the accident in Fukushima and compensation for the variability of output from renewable sources, may increase the production of CO2. CCS also seems a vital technology for decarbonisation of the European energy mix. However, problems of public acceptance as well as governments themselves tend to slow down its development. Indeed, the six countries hosting the six demonstration projects selected [1], only transposed the European Directive on CCS: Italy. It is the only country in the demonstration stage to have a legal framework for this new technology. The Senate had rejected the German law late September 2011 [2], even though Germany currently emits 16 tonnes of CO2 per second. An order of magnitude given during the conference: the storage volume of one tonne of CO2 is the size of a standard pool (25 * 16 * 2m). To store all the CO2 emissions in Europe, it would fill 130 swimming pools every second. Public acceptance is therefore a major factor in the development of CCS and to improve the technologies used in all womens fossil watch fuels. Gain the confidence of consumers is the main challenge of fossil industries continue to produce the energy that these consumers need. [1] To demonstrate the feasibility of capturing and storing carbon from a coal-fired power plant, DG Energy of the European Commission funds and coordinates six demonstration projects (see [3]). Current members of the network are: the site of Hatfield in Britain (Don Valley), Rotterdam, The Netherlands (ROAD Project), Compostela, Spain (Oxy CFB 300) Porto Tolle, Italy, Poland and Belchatow Jänschwalde in Germany. . .
