Clean Management Forum Publishes Carbon Management Study

The Clean Energy Forum (CEF), led by Dr. Friedbert Pflüger and with Prof. Franz Josef Radermacher as a member of its advisory board, has released the publication “Carbon Management – Key Technology in the Fight Against Climate Change”. The CEF is an independent think tank advocating for technology-neutral, market-oriented climate policies. In their publication, authors Hans-Joachim Kümpel (former president of the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources – BGR), Franz Josef Radermacher, and Reinhard Hüttl highlight the crucial role of carbon management technologies. They argue that carbon capture and storage (CCS) and related methods are indispensable for reducing hard-to-avoid emissions and achieving climate targets. The study calls for a reliable regulatory framework and investments in CO₂ infrastructure to enable the industrial-scale implementation of these technologies.

The study underscores the importance of international cooperation and market-based incentives to realize a sustainable and economically viable transition. It advocates for climate policies that foster innovation and strengthen global partnerships to effectively address the challenges of climate change. The CEF provides a platform for dialogue among science, industry, and policymakers to advance innovative solutions for meeting climate goals. The forum emphasizes the need to mobilize all available technologies, including renewable energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and nature-based solutions. This position is also shared by FAW/n and is reflected in the book “ALL IN!”.
