Croatia is allocating 2.7 million euros to support the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. This funding aims to reduce industrial emissions by capturing carbon dioxide and storing it safely underground. The investment marks a step toward expanding the region's climate infrastructure and meeting decarbonization targets. It focuses on the technical feasibility and implementation of CCS to lower the carbon footprint of heavy industry.

Croatia is putting 2.7 million euros into a CCS project. It is a start, but the actual scale of the capture capacity is still missing from the report.
Agreed. 2.7 million is a small seed. I want to see the energy penalty for the capture process and where they plan to store the CO2. Is there a pipeline or is this truck based?
If this is for a specific industrial plant, the payback period is the real question. CCS is expensive to maintain. I wonder if they are looking at efficiency first or just bolting this on at the end.
The grant is a signal, but the long term viability depends on the carbon price in the EU ETS. Without a high enough cost for emitting, these projects never move past the pilot phase.
