In general terms, Slovenia recognizes the need to incentivize CCUS technology, exploring measures like CCfDs, while acknowledging its value for emission reduction in hard-to-abate sectors, prohibiting CO2 storage, considering CO2 transport options, and planning pilot projects but not expecting significant carbon capture by 2030.

CO2 Capture: D

The NECP indicates that while Slovenia has no concrete target for CCUS, it intends to support the technology in the future by developing an incentivization framework.

CO2 Storage: F

CO2 storage is prohibited in Slovenia

CO2 Transport: C 

Slovenia is assessing the potential for CO2 transport via rail and pipelines, indicating future plans to support transport infrastructure.

Funding: D

CCUS funding is still in the early stages, with planned de-risking measures such as CCfDs. While more developed funding plans could justify a B rating, the current stage of planning keeps it at a D.
