Habeck wants to enable the storage of CO2 on the high seas. Environmentalists now fear “CO2 landfills’ under the sea.
Habeck emphasized: “This technology is safe. Risks - like those in mining or the chemical industry - can be managed” The German climate goal - climate neutrality by 2045 - can only be achieved with CO2 storage, said German climate researcher Ottmar Edenhofer. The focus of our efforts is on emissions that are difficult or impossible to avoid.
