Improvement Measures for Fossil Power Plants Regarding CO2 Mitigation 1 Efficiency Increase 2 CO 2 Capture & Storage 2

Pathway to Zero Emission Power for Fossil Fuels Carbon Reduction 90% CCS Zero Emission Trajectory Zero Emissions Target 20% Efficiency Trajectory The pathway to zero emissions can best be achieved by addressing the issues of improved energy efficiency of fossil fuel power plants together with the development, adoption and effective integration of CO2 capture technologies. These routes are not mutually exclusive, and it is essential that carbon dioxide capture plant is based on the best available and appropriate underlying technology.iea Near-term Mid-term Long-term Time Integrated strategy for `zero emission` 3
