Circular carbon pathways and GHG accounting: Interim report: Future carbon flows and their monitoring

Summary

Germany aims to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045, and the EU by 2050, which necessitates a new approach to carbon flows, stores, and sinks, but transparent accounting under international reporting requirements poses a significant challenge. This interim report, published by the German Environment Agency, addresses this by visualizing potential circular carbon pathways to enhance understanding and identifying obstacles to adequate accounting in national greenhouse gas inventories. The project is currently in progress, focusing on analysis and gap identification rather than implemented outcomes.
