The NRW government is actively engaging in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CC(U)S) discussions to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. A significant initiative involves cement manufacturers near Erwitte targeting climate neutrality by 2035, proposing a CO2 pipeline connected to the Rhein-Delta corridor.
In November 2025, the enactment of the KSpTG by the German government introduced a legal framework for the permanent storage and transport of CO2, with plans for offshore storage in the North Sea. The stakeholder consensus emphasizes emission avoidance over utilization, amid ongoing concerns about local acceptance for pipeline developments. The project 'CCU(S) in NRW' is scheduled to continue until March 2027, with initial funding from the European Climate Foundation.
