Residual Emissions Requiring Carbon Removal

Basel-Stadt faces approximately 90,000 tonnes of residual CO2-equivalent emissions that cannot be eliminated through direct decarbonization. KVA Basel (the waste-to-energy plant) is the primary CCS candidate. VBSA has launched a CHF 90,000 pilot feasibility study due by end 2027. Deep geothermal energy remains off the table after the 2006 earthquake.
