Q. Which European country has allowed carbon transport and sub-seabed storage for certain industries?
Answer: Germany
Notes: In February 2024, Germany's economy ministry announced a plan to allow carbon transport and sub-seabed storage for certain industries: Carbon capture: Capture carbon dioxide emissions, Carbon storage: Store carbon emissions underground or abroad, such as at offshore sites, Carbon use: Use captured carbon dioxide in other industries.
