Abstract:

Ist CCS - die Abscheidung und Lagerung von CO₂ - die Lösung des Klima - problems oder nur ein Nebenton im Konzert der Klimaschutzoptionen? Steht die Techno logie kurz vor dem Durchbruch oder ist sie Zukunftsmusik? Gibt es eine Regulierung, die alle Optionen offenhält und zugleich alle Risiken ausschließt?

Recently there has been animated discussion about the contribution of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) to achieve climate protection goals. This overview of the current state of knowledge and discussion about potentials, risks, environmental impacts, costs, as well as questions on the integration of CCS into the energy system shows: There is still a considerable need for research and development until CCS is ready for deployment. Currently, while the EU and national levels invest significant energy to create a legal regulatory framework for CCS, they are confronted with the challenge of adequately dealing with a subject characterized by a large number of "known unknowns" and "unknown unknowns".

More about this publication?

GAIA is a transdisciplinary journal for scientists and other interested parties concerned with the causes and analyses of environmental and sustainability problems and their solutions.

Environmental problems cannot be solved by one academic discipline. The complex natures of these problems require cooperation across disciplinary boundaries. Since 1991, GAIA has offered a well-balanced and practice-oriented forum for transdisciplinary research. GAIA offers first-hand information on state of the art environmental research and on current solutions to environmental problems. Well-known editors, advisors, and authors work to ensure the high quality of the contributions found in GAIA and a unique transdisciplinary dialogue – in a comprehensible style.

GAIA is an ISI-journal, listed in the Social Science Citation Index and in Current Contents/Social and Behavioral Sciences.

All contributions undergo a double-blind peer review.
