Greenpeace is pushing Germany to revise its carbon management strategy after new estimates suggest North Sea CO2 storage capacity is lower than previously assumed. The group argues that plans built around large-scale storage may be overstating what the region can actually hold, which could affect how much CCS and carbon removal the country relies on. Germany's carbon management strategy has treated CO2 storage as a key option for hard-to-abate sectors. If North Sea capacity is tighter than expected, policymakers may need to lean more on direct emissions cuts, alternative storage sites, or other removal methods. The article is behind a paywall, but the core dispute is about whether the strategy matches the physical reality of storage potential.
