The European Commission, for the first time since EUobserver reported about a long-standing EU-China cooperation project on carbon capture and storage (CCS) in December 2017, has now admitted the partnership has run into challenges.

The admission came prior to the EU-China summit in Brussels on Tuesday (9 April).
