The importance of Carbon Management for a climate-neutral Germany

The document asserts that Germany cannot reach its 2045 climate neutrality goals without carbon management. It estimates a need to capture 3-17 million tonnes of unavoidable industrial emissions and remove 17-47 million tonnes via negative emissions technologies annually by 2045. To meet these targets, the author calls for a political roadmap, legal frameworks, and infrastructure development starting in the current decade, with up to 4 million tonnes of CO2 needing capture and storage by 2030.

• Analysis of five leading scenarios from Ariadne, Agora Energiewende, Deutsche Energie-Agentur (Dena), and the Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V. (BDI) indicates that climate neutrality in Germany by 2045 is unattainable without carbon management technologies.
• Immediate action is required in the current decade to prepare infrastructure and policy, as up to 4 million tonnes of CO2 will need to be captured and stored annually by 2030.
