Geological CO2 Storage
The storage phase involves the compression of CO2 followed by transport, often via pipelines, to suitable geological formations where it is securely injected and stored in deep subterranean reservoirs.
The Danish underground has the potential to store up to 22 billion tonnes (GT) of CO2, which is equivalent to 500 to 1,000 years of Denmark’s current total emissions. Pilot CO2 injections have been conducted in Denmark, but the scale-up of the technology requires further research and understanding of the subsurface behavior of CO2.

Michael B.W. Fyhn specialises in CCS projects in the Danish North Sea and onshore Denmark. With a strong and diverse geological background, he focuses on the utilisation of the deep subsurface for CO2 and hydrogen storage, as well as the exploration and exploitation of energy resources.
Michael collaborates closely with both industry and academia in his research and brings 15 years of experience in advisory roles for authorities and working within politically driven organisations.
