On Thursday, three exploration licenses for onshore storage of CO2 were awarded. The licenses went to Wintershall Dea and Ineos Energy, who will investigate the possibilities for storage in the Gassum formation in Jutland, while the Havnsø license went to Equinor and Ørsted, and Rødby to CarbonCuts.
The result of the award of the exploration licenses brings joy to Dansk Offshore, which has been working on the terms for storing CO2 in the North Sea for several years, and which recently also opened up the access of members who have licenses for storing CO2 on land. In a press release, the industry organization calls the award "an important next step"
- It is satisfying to see that such strong and ambitious players have bid in the license tender in a thorough and well-functioning process. The interest reflects that we have come a long way in Denmark when it comes to realizing the ambitions that have been set out politically. It is crucial that all links in the value chain and on the authority side cooperate to carry out the task. Large scale and strong infrastructure are the alpha and omega for both offshore and onshore storage of CO2, says Martin Peter Næsby.
