Switzerland Revised CO2 Act (CCS/NETs) 2024

Regulatory Active Verified

The revised Swiss CO2 Act integrates CCS and negative-emission technologies as climate-strategy components with a subsidy scheme for large-scale CCS and an explicit cross-border transport-and-storage orientation — Switzerland has no storage geology of scale, so the framework is export by design. Cantonal subsurface laws govern the (minimal) domestic side; federal instruments carry the international side. The honest frame is a funder-and-exporter posture: Domestic capture where viable, storage abroad, with FOEN guidance and CO2 Ordinance mechanics underneath. No new facts are asserted here beyond the established framework posture; the record exists to anchor Swiss entries in the dataset, not to overclaim a storage programme the geology cannot support.
