National Assessment of Carbon Management Potential in Romania’s Just Transition Regions

Authors: Ioana Maria Vasiliu, Daria Sorescu

This study outlines the inputs needed to assess both the implementation and socio-economic impacts of carbon management (CM) technologies in Just Transition regions.

CM technologies could play a significant role in supporting some of Romania’s Just Transition regions by enabling emissions reductions, as well as maintaining industrial activity and safeguarding employment in regions reliant on heavy industry. Romania is well placed to advance these solutions, given the concentration of hard-to-abate sectors in these regions and favourable geological conditions for CO₂ storage.
