Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) is recognized as an important component for achieving climate neutrality goals in Europe. In Germany, however, large-scale deployment of CO₂ storage faces legal and societal barriers, particularly for onshore storage. The ongoing revision of the national legal framework will enable offshore CO₂ storage, but prohibits onshore storage, though it will...
A promising negative emission technology is organic carbon sequestration in soils, which mitigates climate change impacts and improves soil properties, such as water retention and fertility. Maximizing the incorporation of organic carbon deeper in the mineral soil, is critical to prevent forests and agricultural land from shifting from carbon sinks to carbon sources.
A solution to boost...
There is increasing recognition that emission reductions alone are unlikely to achieve global climate targets. This has prompted research into removing atmospheric CO₂, with estimates suggesting that hundreds of gigatons must be removed by the end of the century to remain below 2°C warming.
Marine Enhanced silicate weathering (ESW) has been identified as a potential efficient Marine Carbon...
CCS is a chain of technologies to capture CO2 from large industrial sources, transporting it to a suitable injection location for permanent storage in a deep subsurface reservoir. For efficient supercritical storage, sufficient depth (>800 m) is needed. Impermeable sealing formations and trapping structures ensure safe and long-term containment. In the battle against climate change...
