Carbon Capture & Storage in Bulgaria

Bulgaria, the EU's most carbon-intensive economy, can use carbon capture and storage (CCS) to decarbonise its chemical, refinery, and cement sectors. While the country lacks a cohesive deployment strategy, it has a legal foundation via the EU CCS Directive and significant estimated storage capacity of 2.6 Gt. The ANRAV project, supported by a €190 million EU Innovation Fund grant, aims to be Eastern Europe's first full value chain CCS project, targeting a 95% emissions reduction from the Devnya Cement Plant by 2028.

• Bulgaria is identified as the most carbon-intensive economy in the European Union, facing significant challenges in meeting the EU's targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
• Industrial emissions in Bulgaria total 7 Mt/CO2 per year, representing 16% of national CO2 emissions. CCS is described as the only technology capable of completely decarbonising the cement sector, which is responsible for 24% of these industrial emissions.
