  • Leading studies indicate that Germany cannot achieve its 2045 climate neutrality goals without the implementation of carbon management technologies, including carbon capture and storage (CCS) and negative emission technologies like direct air capture or bioenergy with CCS.
  • The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) identified that while CO2 capture, transport, and storage technologies are mature and tested, the current legal framework prohibits the construction of storage sites, hindering widespread application.
  • A primary priority for the BMWK in 2023 is the amendment of the Carbon Dioxide Storage Act (KSpG) to enable onshore or offshore CO2 storage within Germany, alongside the development of a comprehensive climate protection strategy for carbon management.
  • Several large-scale CO2 infrastructure projects are being planned to transport emissions abroad, including a nationwide pipeline network by Open Grid Europe, a project by CO2 Management AS in Bremerhaven, the Delta Rhyne Corridor to Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and a pipeline between Germany and Norway by Equinor and Wintershall Dea with a planned capacity of up to 40 million tonnes per year.
