Croatia’s NECP outlines early-stage CCS development plans, including a pilot project by 2026 and the large-scale KOdeCO net zero project by 2028, while emphasizing the need for further assessment of CO₂ storage capacity, public engagement, and a future carbon removal certification system, supported by strong EU and national funding.

Capture: D

No national capture target is set, but the KOdeCO project will install capture infrastructure at a cement plant.

Storage: C

Despite no national target, Croatia aims to tap into vast storage potential, with plans for 3.67 Mt CO₂ via KOdeCO and long-term biogenic carbon storage.

Transport: D 

Transport is only briefly addressed via shipping in KOdeCO and a feasibility study; comprehensive infrastructure plans are lacking.

Funding: A

CCS efforts are strongly supported with over EUR 250 million from EU and national sources, ensuring robust financial backing.
