Carbon management revives CCS in Germany as safeguards steadily weaken
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is regaining prominence in climate policy debates in Germany.
AI Summary
A recent study has found that carbon management is reviving carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Germany. The revival of CCS is attributed to the weakening of safeguards that were initially put in place. These safeguards were progressively relaxed throughout the political process, which may have unintended consequences for climate protection measures. The relaxation of safeguards increases the risk that fossil fuel infrastructure will be prolonged, potentially sidelining other climate protection measures.
