Under the Net Zero Industry Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1735, referenced as "NZIA"), the EU has set a binding target of 50 million tonnes of operational CO₂ injection capacity by 2030. Recent delegated acts identify the EU-based oil and gas producers subject to NZIA obligations and specify their pro rata contributions. Romanian producers account for over 20% of these obligations, positioning Romania as a core player in Europe’s emerging CO₂ storage system.
