The document discusses efforts in Europe to reduce CO2 emissions through carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. Specifically, it mentions that the EU will provide €300 million to fund 12 commercial CCS demonstration projects. It also outlines targets to reduce CO2 emissions from new cars, including interim targets and a long-term 2020 target of 95g CO2/km for new vehicle fleets. Fines will be imposed on manufacturers that exceed emissions limits. Italy is highlighted for its 9.3% reduction in CO2 emissions in 2009 and inauguration of its first experimental CCS plant near Brindisi in March 2011.
