About

Our vision is to create a CO2-neutral society.

We will contribute substantially to the Danish and global climate goals in 2030 and 2050 by developing and demonstrating sustainable CCUS solutions and value chains to benefit socio-economic development and the environment. ​

The Partnership will do this by:

• Engage national and international partners from the entire CCUS value chain
• Within the Partnership define high impact research and innovation needs in parallel with developing technology/solutions ​
• Secure a dynamic partnership towards 2050 to include the strongest and most active partners continuously ​
• Ensure the best pathway for demonstration realisation and implementation as technologies mature ​
• Ensure dissemination of knowledge gained in the Partnership to the benefit of the global CCUS community ​

Key deliveries in the roadmap

• Crucial contributions to the goal of 70% CO2-reduction by 2030, carbon neutrality by 2050, and long-term negative emissions beyond 2050, while still ensuring the necessary carbon supply to society. The technical potential in 2030 is up to 7-15 Mt CO2 captured per year in 2030 (50-80% of the emission gap to reach the 70% target) and in 2050 up to 6 ton CO2 can be captured and supplied to the production of green fuels and products.
• Technologies, tools and pathways to limit emissions to the atmosphere in both short and long term by gradual, but fast, switching from the current fossil-based carbon supply to a green supply based on the atmosphere to deliver the carbon needed in the society, combining permanent storage and smart utilisation of carbon resources.
• Multiple green pathways for carbon from the natural carbon cycle to enter the societal carbon use through a combination of large, small and scalable innovative solutions and the build-up of new technologies and companies with a significant national and international business potential.
• Outlines and timelines of the research and development needed for the individual technologies, as well as the systems integration based on existing knowledge, Danish strongholds and strong partnerships between universities, technological service providers, large and small companies, and societal stakeholders.
• Awareness and solutions to urgent societal readiness steps needed at the legal, regulating, economic and political level as well as externalities necessary to implement the changes without compromising key sustainability, environmental, biodiversity and human conditions. This includes an overall systemic view and collaboration with land aspects, as priorities of “land” for food, fibre, CCS, biodiversity etc. is likely going to become a constraint.
