In addition to keeping anthropogenic CO 2 out of the atmosphere, this technology will lead to benefits and trade-offs for air pollution, according to a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA). Emissions of CO 2 in the EU would fall by around 60% by 2050 if CCS were implemented at all coal-based power generation plants.
