Monetary noteDraft budget: >EUR 111M for negative emissions in 2026 — ~EUR 98M project funding, EUR 11.5M for purchase of CO2-removal certificates (federal CDR procurement pilot), ~EUR 2M administration — plus EUR 320M in commitment authorizations (Verpflichtungsermaechtigungen) through 2033; a further EUR 44.6M elsewhere in the budget for soils as carbon storage.
Confidencemedium
Unverified noteThe EUR 111M / 98M / 11.5M breakdown was verified only against the July 2025 government DRAFT budget (via DVNE and libmod coverage, Aug 2025); the exact figures in the finally enacted budget (passed Nov/Dec 2025) could not be confirmed line-by-line from bundeshaushalt.de in this session. Ministry attribution is BMUKN (environment ministry) per DVNE, not BMWE as the tasking suggested.
