The fact sheet outlines the role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in decarbonizing Bulgaria's industrial sectors, particularly cement, chemicals, and refining. It highlights Bulgaria's high emission intensity in the EU and identifies significant geological storage potential, including the Pleven saline aquifer. The document details the ANRAV project as a pioneering CCS initiative in Eastern Europe and recommends the development of a comprehensive national carbon management strategy and the creation of low-carbon industrial clusters.

  • Bulgaria has the highest levels of CO2 emissions in Europe and is tasked with meeting EU goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
  • Industrial emissions in Bulgaria total 7 Mt/CO2 annually, representing 16% of emissions from large stationary facilities. The cement sector is particularly critical, accounting for 24% of Bulgaria's industrial CO2 emissions, and CCS is described as the only technology capable of its full decarbonization.
  • Bulgaria's estimated geological storage capacity is approximately 2.6 Gt, which could store current emissions for 87 years. This includes 2.560 Gt in 10 saline aquifers, 27 Mt in coal fields, and at least 6 Mt in depleted gas reservoirs. Specifically, the Pleven saline aquifer has a capacity of 1.8 Gt, while the Maritsa and Galabovo aquifers have capacities of 72 Mt and 85 Mt, respectively.
  • The ANRAV project, planned for operation in 2028, will be the first full-chain CCS project in Eastern Europe. It aims to capture CO2 from the Devnya Cement plant and store it in the Galata depleted gas field in the Black Sea, preventing 95% of the plant's greenhouse gas emissions and reducing Bulgaria's total cement emissions by approximately 50%. The project received 190 million euros from the EU Innovation Fund.
