CroatiaCroatia has developed its first geological map for the safe storage of carbon dioxide (CO₂), according to a statement by the Agency for Hydrocarbons (AZU). The study represents the most comprehensive analysis of Croatia’s underground structures to date, identifying areas and quantities where CO₂ can be safely and permanently stored. Results confirm that Croatia has significant geological potential, which could be a key prerequisite for industrial decarbonization, attracting new investments, and enhancing energy security. Three main documents were created as part of the project: an atlas for the continental part of Croatia, an atlas for the Croatian part of the Adriatic Basin, and an integrated feasibility study for the location of Bockovac. These findings show that the Pannonian Basin has a theoretical capacity of approximately 346 million tons of CO₂, while the Croatian part of the Adriatic Basin offers an additional potential of around 717 million tons. Overall, Croatia has over a billion tons of potential storage capacity, with depleted gas fields in the Adriatic and geological structures in the Drava Depression being particularly promising.
