Carbon Capture and Storage

CCS involves the capture of CO2 from point sources, its transport and its permanent storage in geological formations. Denmark has significant geological potential for CO2 storage, providing a strong foundation for developing CCS at scale. Realising this potential requires a reliable, integrated and scalable value chain connecting CO2 sources with suitable storage sites. Research and innovation address challenges across this value chain, including capture technologies, CO2 infrastructure, geological storage, reservoir characterisation, monitoring, infrastructure planning and governance.
