Become a part of developing new business opportunities with CCUS

Attracting foreign investors with leading knowledge and expertise is an important pillar of development and will be crucial to the establishment of a thriving CCUS scene in Denmark.

Denmark - an ideal living lab for CCUS

Technology and innovation are building blocks for a global green transition. Denmark can become an ideal living lab for Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), fostering innovation and testing new technologies.

Taking leadership on innovative solutions means a strong collaboration between businesses and universities, as well as developing a talent-pool of highly qualified labour. Denmark offers flexible business conditions and an internationally-oriented workforce. By building a nationwide CCUS ecosystem, Denmark can become a key location for CO₂ storage and utilisation.

Testing and scaling up

The Danish commitment to the clean energy transition means a stable and predictable framework for long-term investments. It also means access to a variety of actors across the full supply chain in related sectors like renewable energy production, green hydrogen, Power-to-X and sustainable fuels for trucks, shipping and aviation.

Denmark’s advanced position on biomass-fired combined heat and power plants, biogas, solid waste incineration and cement production means companies have good local opportunities for testing and commercialising carbon capturing solutions on these carbon sources and creating the foundation for subsequent technology exports to other countries.

New solutions to be commercialised

The use of carbon capture depends on several factors including technology development, commercial viability, alternative fuel prices and availability, and future emission-related regulatory requirements.
