TitleEU Reports Strong Progress Towards 2030 CO₂ Storage Capacity Target
AuthorsThe European Commission has published its first progress report on the implementation of the CO₂ injection capacity target established under the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), confirming that the European Union is making significant progress towards achieving its objective of 50 million tonnes of annual geological CO₂ injection capacity by 2030. The report highlights the rapid expansion of carbon storage infrastructure across Europe and concludes that the 2030 target remains within reach, provided that planned projects continue to advance according to schedule. Increasing CO₂ storage capacity will play a critical role in supporting carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, reducing emissions from hard-to-abate industries and establishing a competitive European carbon management market.
