Uhvaćanje i skladištenje ugljika u Hrvatskoj

Croatia aims for a 45% emission reduction by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050, with the industrial sector contributing 2.76 MtCO2/year (16% of national emissions). The document highlights that cement production, accounting for 62% of industrial emissions, has no viable decarbonization path other than CCS. Croatia possesses a significant storage capacity of 4.2 GtCO2, primarily in saline aquifers (4 Gt) and depleted hydrocarbon fields (175 Mt), which is sufficient to store 693 years of the country's annual point-source emissions. To optimize deployment, the document proposes three industrial clusters: the Adriatic, Central, and Eastern clusters. Current initiatives include the Croatian Geothermal CCS project, which plans to store CO2 from the Našice cement plant and a plant in Beremend, Hungary, at the Bočkovci-1 site. Other projects in development include Petrokemija Kutina (190,000 tCO2/year), Biorafinerija Sisak (55,000 tCO2/year), and a cement plant in Koromač (400,000 tCO2/year). Collectively, these could capture 1.3 million tonnes of CO2 annually. Economically, implementing CCS in the Eastern cluster could save 1.2 billion euros in EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) costs. The document recommends simplifying permitting processes, developing a comprehensive carbon management strategy, and investing in storage site characterization and cross-border cooperation.

• Croatia's industrial sector emits 2.76 MtCO2 per year, representing 16% of the nation's total CO2 emissions, with cement production being the largest contributor at 62% of these industrial emissions.
• The country has a total estimated CO2 storage capacity of 4.2 GtCO2, consisting of 4 Gt across six saline aquifers and 175 Mt across 17 depleted hydrocarbon fields, which could hold 693 years of Croatia's annual point-source emissions.
