"There will come a time when we should consider storing carbon, through the construction of storage units that are expensive, at around EUR1 billion per unit, and we would have to ensure financing sources," Serban said during a seminar on the reorganization of the energy production sector.

However, Serban added this issue has nothing to do with the reorganization of the country's energy production sector and will not be "approached" in the near future.
