CO2-Strategie für einen klimaneutralen Industriestandort Deutschland

The Clean Air Task Force argues that Germany requires a dedicated CO2 strategy and regulatory framework to enable the implementation of CCU and CCS technologies, which are deemed essential for mitigating industrial process emissions that cannot be otherwise reduced. The document calls for the development of national and cross-border CO2 transport infrastructure, the introduction of Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfD) to support industrial clusters, and the initiation of a societal dialogue on climate protection technologies.

• To achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045, Germany needs an 'Industriewende' (industrial transformation) alongside the energy transition, relying on renewable energy, climate-neutral hydrogen, and the capture, utilization, and storage of CO2 (CCU/CCS) for process emissions and carbon sinks.
• CCU and CCS are described as indispensable for reaching climate neutrality in Germany, particularly for industrial process emissions, biomass combustion, and eventually direct air capture, aligning with IPCC findings and existing projects in the Netherlands, the UK, and Scandinavia.
• The author demands that the next federal government implement three specific measures: a regulatory framework for CO2 capture, transport, and storage (including cross-border infrastructure); the use of Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfD) to foster industrial CCU/CCS clusters; and a societal dialogue process regarding climate technologies.
