Does Germany need a carbon storage solution?

Will Germany enable underground carbon storage at offshore sites?
BERLIN (AP) — Germany plans to enable underground carbon storage at offshore sites, pushing ahead with a much-discussed technology in an acknowledgement that time is running out to combat climate change, the country’s vice chancellor said Monday.
Can Germany achieve net-zero emissions at a cost-optimal pathway?
Our research shows that on a cost-optimal pathway, the transformation to net-zero emissions can be achieved at net-zero cost for society as a whole (on aggregate over the entire period and across all sectors) and in a socially balanced way—delivering a favorable business case for Germany and a leap to a new technological age.
Can Germany's climate targets be made more ambitious?
Germany's national climate targets can be made more ambitious but not less. By 2030, land use and forestry (LULUCF) should have net-negative emissions at minus 25 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2 eq), with a target of minus 35 million tonnes and minus 40 million tonnes CO2 eq by 2040 and 2045 respectively.
How much CO2 does Germany emit?
That means that today Germany still emits about 60 Mt of gross positive CO 2 emission. Comparison between CO 2 emission systems in 2019 and 2050. Including illustrations of avoided, reduced, and removed emissions that led to achieving net-zero by 2050. LULUCF, land-use, land-use change and forestry; CDR, carbon dioxide removal.
How can German Energy Park be integrated into European hydrogen infrastructure?
In the future, the energy park can also be integrated into the emerging European hydrogen infrastructure by means of further eastern German hydrogen projects. With its National Hydrogen Strategy, the German government has decided to anchor hydrogen as an energy source in the energy system of tomorrow.
