The Havnsø area in Kalundborg municipality is one of the areas that was identified earlier this year as a possible onshore CO2 storage. However, there are still many studies to be done before the storage becomes a reality. In fact, it will take about five years to find out whether the subsoil is suitable for CO2 storage, says Ulrik Olbjørn, project manager at CO2 Storage Kalundborg, which has been granted the study permit, to TV2 Øst.
- Now we have to show that it is safe and secure to store CO2, and this must be done with thorough studies that take time, he tells the media.
The studies are divided into three phases: the mapping phase, the exploration phase and the test phase. If the subsoil proves suitable and the necessary permits are obtained, CO2Storage Kalundborg hopes to be ready to store CO2 in the area in 2030. In that case, up to 12 million tons of CO2 per year can be stored in the storage. This corresponds to 28 percent of Denmark's total CO2 emissions.
