Mapping of CO2 Storage Achievements Across Europe

of relevant national legislation. The activities in individual countries were assessed in a semi-quantitative way, which resulted in division of the countries into four groups according to each country’s overall state of CO2 storage achievements. Finally, the CO2 storage achievement scores of individual countries were compared with their annual CO2 emissions. The results clearly illustrate the existing activity and knowledge gap between the “forerunner” and “follower” countries, which needs to be closed if the expected significant contribution of the CCS technology to the decarbonisation of the European economy in the next few decades is to be achieved.
