ANALYSIS
- CCS is a key component in Germany' s effort to overcome security of supply
and long-term climate change concerns
- In April 2009, the German Federal Cabinet adopted the CCS act - a
necessary yet insufficient condition to drive the uptake of CCS
- The current political and energy landscape in Germany provides the ideal
platform for the development of CCS
- CCS will take root as part of the country' s challenge to replace a
significant proportion of power generation in the coming years
- Germany' s climate protection strategy focuses on the increased use of
renewable power and higher levels of energy efficiency
- CCS will not threaten the development of existing and future significant
renewable energy capabilities in Germany

FIGURES
- Figure: There is a very strong case for CCS in a country which depends on
coal for about half of its electricity needs
- Figure: Phasing out of nuclear means Germany faces an energy supply gap,
despite major renewable capacity additions
- Figure: Renewable power generation has seen remarkable growth since 1997,
albeit from a low installed base
