Fünf Kernkomponente einer nationalen Carbon Management-Strategie in Deutschland
Summary
The policy brief outlines a proposed framework for a German national carbon management strategy, emphasizing the necessity of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and direct air capture (DAC) to meet 2045 climate goals. It suggests five pillars: setting clear quantitative targets, prioritizing hard-to-abate sectors like cement and refineries, engaging civil society, developing shared CO2 transport infrastructure, and fostering international cooperation, particularly within the EU and with countries like Norway and Denmark.
Key insights
- To achieve climate neutrality by 2045, Germany requires significant carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity, with estimates suggesting a need for 1 to 4 million tonnes of CO2 to be captured and stored annually by 2030, increasing to between 29 and 74 million tonnes annually by 2045.
- Carbon management technologies are deemed essential for specific industrial sectors where alternatives for emission reduction are lacking, specifically cement production and refineries.
- Germany lacks the necessary CO2 transport infrastructure in major industrial regions such as North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Württemberg, necessitating the creation of open-access transport networks.
- Due to significant obstacles regarding CO2 storage within Germany, a national strategy must rely on international cooperation for cross-border transport and storage, potentially utilizing terminals in Wilhelmshaven to export CO2 to Norway or Denmark.
