Obligated entity tracker
This tracker analyses the progress of obligated oil and gas producers in delivering CO₂ injection capacity under Article 23 of the Net Zero Industry Act. Drawing on publicly available project data, it assesses announced storage developments against each entity’s individual obligation, highlighting areas of alignment, shortfall, and uncertainty.
It is designed to support evidence-based monitoring of implementation and to provide insights into the evolving European CO₂ storage market.
