CO₂-Abscheidung und -Lagerung im Überblick – Technik, Potenziale, Risiken, Kosten und Regulierung

A Review of Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage – Technology, Potentials, Risks, Costs, and Regulation

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".
