What is INNO-CCUS?
We are a mission-driven partnership dedicated to advancing carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) technologies. Representing more than 80 partners from both industry and academia, we foster innovation and collaboration within the Danish CCUS ecosystem.
Advancing CCUS Innovation for a Sustainable Future
We help Denmark achieve its climate targets by promoting technologies to capture, store and use CO2
Carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) solutions are pivotal to Denmark’s climate strategy. Although these technologies have been around for years, unlocking their full potential requires significant improvements in efficiency, scalability, and financial sustainability.
INNO-CCUS was created to address this challenge. As a mission-driven partnership, we are bridging knowledge gaps and solving innovation needs within CCUS. We support 30 research projects dedicated to advancing the field, spanning the entire CCUS value chain.
Denmark has all the pieces to succeed — the technology, expertise, and talent. Our job is to bring these resources together to drive progress. By fostering collaboration and innovation, we accelerate the green transition and pave the way to realising our climate targets.
Establishment and funding
INNO-CCUS is one of four mission-driven partnerships launched in 2022 as part of the Danish government’s sustainability initiatives to accelerate the green transition. Focused on research and innovation, these Innomission partnerships aim to develop solutions in key areas that are essential for achieving climate neutrality and, ultimately, climate negativity.
The INNO-CCUS partnership has received a total of DKK 350 million in funding, provided in phases. The initial funding was allocated by Innovation Fund Denmark through NextGenerationEU, with subsequent phases funded directly by Innovation Fund Denmark.

Setting the direction for 2050
As a mission-driven partnership, INNO-CCUS is guided by an ambitious roadmap that sets the strategic direction of Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage in Denmark toward 2050.
The roadmap describes challenges and gaps within the field of CCUS as well as opportunities and strongholds.
How we work: Projects and workstreams
CCUS is not one technology, but a myriad of different methods and ideas aimed at capturing, storing and using CO2, spanning a vast and complex value chain.
To ensure the development of efficient, scalable, and sustainable CCUS solutions for all aspects of the field, we divide our 30 research and innovation projects into five distinct tracks called workstreams. Learn more about them below.
