CCS: WWF warns against 2,000 kilometers • Table.Briefings

Das norwegische CCS-Projekt Northern Lights will auch CO2 aus der EU speichern - und wurde jetzt fertiggestellt. — Storing CO2 in the North Sea would require a vast pipeline network. The picture shows the Norwegian CCS project Northern Lights.

Germany would need a 10,000-kilometer pipeline network to store CO2 from industrial processes in the North Sea. A new WWF study shows that 2,000 kilometers of pipeline would run in the North Sea. The organization calls for better protection of the sea and a review of land-based CO2 storage.

Storing unavoidable CO2 emissions from the industrial sector would require 2,000 kilometers of new pipelines in the North Sea. This is the conclusion of a study conducted by the Öko-Institut on behalf of WWF Germany. In order to store CO2 emissions from the cement and lime sectors as well as waste incineration in the North Sea, Germany would require a CO2 pipeline network with a length of around 10,000 kilometers.
