Aufnahme von Carbon Capture und Storage Technologien in den Koalitionsvertrag

The document argues that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is essential for Germany to reach its 2045 climate neutrality goal, particularly for the cement, steel, and chemical industries. It calls for a government strategy that includes the development of CO2 transport infrastructure, the use of Carbon Contracts for Difference, and a legal declaration to the International Maritime Organization to enable cross-border CO2 transport.

• The authors assert that achieving climate goals without CO2 capture and storage technologies will be difficult or impossible, citing IEA and IPCC analyses. The IEA's Net Zero scenario estimates a need for 7.6 gigatonnes of CO2 capture and storage by 2050 to support industrial decarbonization and negative emissions.
• The document recommends that the German government implement a CCS strategy aligned with EU policy, focusing on the chemical, steel, and cement industries. This strategy should integrate CO2 transport into a broader infrastructure system alongside electricity and hydrogen, and utilize financial instruments such as Carbon Contracts for Difference.
• To enable the movement of CO2, the signatories propose that Germany issue a declaration to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regarding the 2009 amendment to Article 6 of the London Protocol for cross-border transport, while establishing a legal framework for domestic transport via pipeline, ship, train, and truck.
