Greenpeace: Carbon management strategy c • Table.Briefings

Das norwegische CCS-Projekt Northern Lights will auch CO2 aus der EU speichern - und wurde jetzt fertiggestellt. — The German government’s carbon management strategy is drawing criticism. Pictured: The Norwegian CCS project Northern Lights is also campaigning for the storage of European CO2.

In a new study, the environmental organization Greenpeace criticizes the planned widespread use of CCS in Germany. It considered the technology is too expensive and should only be used in sectors with unavoidable residual emissions.

According to a Greenpeace study, the current draft of the German government’s carbon management strategy will cost between 39 and 81 billion euros by 2045. The environmental organization believes the capture and storage of CO₂ (carbon capture and storage, CCS) is „an expensive technology“ and „widespread use of CCS is not economically viable.“
