Voraussetzungen für eine erfolgreiche Implementierung von CCU, CCS und CDR

In this "Zukunftsimpuls", researchers from the Wuppertal Institute shed light on the planned carbon management in Germany in a comprehensive and practice-oriented manner: After a compact introduction to the topic – including lessons learnt from previous debates – they present a fundamental assessment of relevant aspects relating to the German Carbon Management Strategy (CMS) process. In the main part of their publication, they formulate recommendations for action in five areas of carbon management that are central from the Wuppertal Institute's perspective: the development of CO2 infrastructure, the development of safe CO2 storage facilities, the application of CCU as a complementary option to CCS, the acceptance of CCS in society and the linking of the CMS with Germany’s long-term strategy for negative emissions (German: Langfriststrategie Negativemissionen). For each of the five areas, they describe the respective initial situation as well as specific challenges and obstacles. On this basis, they formulate specific recommendations for policymakers that should be taken into account when implementing the CMS.
