Explore CCUS opportunities in Denmark

Denmark is developing a carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) value chain. Capture projects, plans for CO2 transport, geological storage and research into new uses for CO2 are creating opportunities for international companies with the right technology, project plans or investment focus. Invest in Denmark helps international companies explore where a Danish presence or partnership could make sense. We offer free and confidential guidance and can help you identify relevant contacts and stakeholders.

Where opportunities are taking shape

  • Capture and point sources

    Denmark's industrial facilities, waste-to-energy plants and biogenic CO2 sources offer different starting points for capture projects. The requirements and commercial case vary by source and project. For technology providers, understanding that fit is a first step towards identifying potential customers and partners.

  • Storage and transport

    Denmark has granted its first full CO2 storage permit, while other onshore and offshore areas are being investigated. Ports, project developers and infrastructure providers are also examining transport options. The timing and scale of further development depend on exploration, permitting, infrastructure and viable project economics.

  • Utilisation and carbon removal

    Researchers and companies are exploring ways to use CO₂ in products and processes, alongside approaches to remove carbon from the atmosphere. These activities offer different routes to development and collaboration, with maturity and commercial conditions varying by application. Utilisation, geological storage and carbon removal should each be assessed on their own terms.

A carbon management value chain taking shape

Denmark’s CCS award to Aalborg Portland supports a project connecting industrial carbon capture, transport and permanent storage. As the infrastructure develops, it could create opportunities for other emitters, technology providers and project developers.
