Germany's largest industrial firms are pushing for a stronger EU carbon price to make carbon capture and storage viable at scale. Without a clear price signal, CCS projects struggle to attract investment because the economics only work when polluting is expensive enough. The article covers how one major multinational argues that the current EU ETS price is not enough to trigger large-scale CCS deployment. They want policy that locks in a robust carbon price trajectory, which would improve project financing conditions and allow industrial emitters to commit to capture infrastructure. For anyone tracking EU ETS policy or industrial decarbonization, this is a useful signal of what heavy industry wants from Brussels in the next phase of carbon market reform.
