Statement on the draft bill to amend the Carbon Dioxide Storage Act
The present draft bill to amend the Carbon Dioxide Storage Act creates the basis for the legally secure application of CCU/S technologies and the development of a CO2 infrastructure for the first time. The German Carbon Management Initiative (DCMI) expressly welcomes this step – but calls for targeted improvements to ensure investment security and to future-proof Germany as an industrial and infrastructure location in the European CO2 market.
