Carbon capture and storage (CCS), on which the future of the coal industry will depend, is currently still a highly uncertain option that has yet to be deployed on an industrial scale. Overall, 61% of respondents believe that their country is entirely or very much dependent on energy coming from abroad. However, the level of awareness is not consistently high. For example, for Ireland, the energy dependency rate is approximately 90%, but only 64% of its citizens are aware of that.
