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.

Position paper Carbon management – Creating a framework for CCU/S projects in Germany and Europe

The German government’s carbon management strategy is a key step towards reducing emissions that are difficult to avoid and creating negative emissions. It must be dovetailed with the hydrogen and biomass strategy. At the same time, an EU-wide carbon market and global business models are needed to establish a circular carbon economy.
