Meet us there to learn more about how Denmark offers great conditions for CO₂ storage and utilisation as well as to explore scientific innovation, partnership and investment opportunities, in the context of Denmark’s ambitious climate targets.

CCUS will be a central element in achieving Denmark’s objective to reduce CO₂ emissions by 70% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2045.

Denmark offers great conditions for CO₂ capture, storage and utilisation, and experience within the full CCUS value chain from efficient combined heat and power plants (CHP) to waste-to-energy facilities, energy-efficient industry and a strong transportation sector, district heating grids for utilisation of excess heat, and cutting-edge technology providers. 

The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) calculates that the Danish subsoil can contain up to 22 billion tonnes (GT) of CO₂. This corresponds to between 500 and 1000 years of total Danish emissions at current levels and means that Denmark can also become a hub for international storage of CO₂. 

The Danish government has already decided to set aside DKK 38 billion (EUR 5 billion) to achieve reductions and removals of 3.2 million tons of CO2 per year from 2029 with The Danish Energy Agency responsible for deploying the funds.

Denmark also has a high share of renewable energy in its grid (70%), which is key for the production of green hydrogen. Combined with a stable supply of biogenic CO₂ estimated at around 6.5 million tons from incineration and CHP plants and 800,000 tons from current biogas plants, Denmark plans to become a large exporter of e-fuels for maritime, aviation and ground transportation.

General framework conditions in Denmark are also very favourable: a supportive and stable political climate, excellent facilities and funding for R&D and demonstration projects and a large talent pool in a market with many future business opportunities.
