Abstract
The Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) is the greatest carbon emitter in Europe and is responsible for ~ 3.4% of the world's total fossil fuel-based carbon emissions. In the Kyoto Protocol and national climate protection programs Germany has committed to substantial reductions of CO2 emissions. Because of the German government's priority on sustainable energies and reduction of fossil energy consumption, R&D activities on CO2 capture and subsurface storage have so far played only a minor role. These activities are, however, increasing and several projects have been launched recently.
