Copernicus Anthropogenic CO₂ Emissions Monitoring & Verification Support (MVS) capacity

The areas of R&I, which needs to be addressed to tackle the above expected outcomes:

• New and innovative methodologies to improve the definition of the correlations between emissions of co-emitted species (CO₂, NO₂, CO, CH₄) in support of CO₂ fossil fuel emission estimation
• New and innovative methods to better use of auxiliary observations such as ¹⁴C (radiocarbon), SIF (Solar Induced Fluorescence), and APO (Atmospheric Potential Oxygen) to separate anthropogenic CO₂ emissions from the natural variability of CO₂

To enable the EU to move towards a low-carbon economy and implement its commitments under the Paris Agreement, a binding target to cut emissions in the EU by at least 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 was set and the European Commission President von der Leyen committed to deepen this target to at least 55% reduction by 2030. This was fu
