• This region includes the port town of Galati, on the Danube river, and its surroundings, and includes 42 major industrial installations

• One of Romania’s biggest emitters of CO₂ is the Mittal Steel Plant situated in Galati, which produces around 3.9 million tonnes of CO₂ a year.

• Other major industrial emitters, in the south-east, include: power, chemical fertilisers, aluminium and cement plants, a petroleum refinery and glass production

• Depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs within a 100km radius of Galati could be developed as CO₂ storage sites as well as deep saline aquifers, on and offshore, in the Black Sea area

• The Danube river, the Danube-Black Sea canal and the opening to the Black Sea – where good storage reservoirs have been identified – offer the potential for CO₂ transport by shipping combined with pipelines

• Analysis of major CO₂ emission sources in the southern part of the country concludes that these could be grouped into major or minor clusters for CO₂ transport

• Captured CO₂ could be transported by river to the offshore region for use in enhanced oil recovery operations or for storage in deep saline aquifers
