Dena presents proposals for CCS strategy

The state-run German Energy Agency (Dena) proposed new principles, rules, definitions and legislative changes for handling CO2 capture and storage or utilization (CCS/CCU) technologies in Germany. CCS/CCU should „make an important contribution to a climate-neutral Germany,“ but the „top priority must be to reduce emissions,“ according to a proposal paper from Dena. The concept was presented internally at the government’s „Stakeholder Dialogue on Carbon Management Strategy“ (CMS) on Tuesday and is available to Table.Media. The responsible climate and economy ministry pointed out that these proposals do not originate from the ministry.
