The Bulgarian NECP recognises CCS as a long-term strategy but lacks concrete 2030 targets, detailed transport plans, and dedicated national funding.

CO2 Capture: D

Two active CCS projects [ANRAV & Beli Net Zero] demonstrate commitment, though no national-level capture target is set for 2030. CCS is explicitly mentioned as a long-term decarbonisation strategy.

CO2 Storage: C

Identifies existing and potential storage sites in depleted gas fields and onshore formations. The plan identifies that the Beli Net Zero project aims to establish a regional CO2 storage hub.

CO2 Transport: C

The NECP mentions CO2 transport as necessary, but lacks concrete plans for pipeline infrastructure or long-term transport strategies. However, it acknowledges the importance of full value-chain development.

CO2 Funding: D

Funding is primarily through EU Innovation Fund projects, with no clear domestic financing mechanisms. The plan indicates that the Bulgarian government is open to further funding, but no dedicated national support is in place.
