As one of the world's leading power and gas companies, E.ON is spurring the development of CCS technology and is supporting more than 80 promising R&D projects along the entire CCS value chain. Some of these projects we're conducting ourselves, and some are partnerships with renowned companies and research institutes. We plan to spend about EUR100 million on CCS research in the years ahead. Our top R&D priority is post-combustion capture.

We believe our focus on post-combustion capture makes sense for three reasons.

1. Post-combustion capture is compatible with proven, and highly developed generation technologies and processes.

2. It can be retrofitted onto existing power plants, which will reduce the emissions of fossil-fuel-fired generation more rapidly.

3. We're convinced that it has significant potential and that our intensive R&D effort will help pave the way to commercial viability in the foreseeable future.
