Four Danish CCUS projects are receiving a total of approximately DKK 81 million in support from the Just Transition Fund. The funds will be used for development, testing and capacity building within technologies for capturing, using and storing CO2. The Danish Business Authority writes this in a press release.
- The world needs to capture and store CO2 to solve the climate crisis. But today the technology is far too expensive. Fortunately, we have a big bag of money – DKK 190 million – to help Danish companies make CCUS better and cheaper. It is not just about the climate – it is also a business opportunity. When we get better testing and development facilities in North and South Jutland, we increase the chance that the jobs will end up in Denmark, says Svend Elberg Thomsen, who is Climate Manager at Norlys and a member of the Nomination Committee for the Just Transition Foundation.
The total pool of DKK 190 million was allocated in connection with the political agreement on CO2 capture from 2021. The purpose is to support the development of economically sustainable and scalable solutions that can contribute to achieving the national climate goals and create new business opportunities.
- The goal is both to create a positive climate effect and to develop strong, local value chains in North and South Jutland. To succeed, it requires not only investments in technology, but also in people. CCUS is completely new, so of course employees must be equipped with the right skills so that they can drive the development of CCUS technologies – for the climate and for Danish business, says Svend Elberg Thomsen.
The four projects receiving support are:
C-TECH at Aalborg University: 24 million DKK for the establishment of a test site for CCUS technology in Esbjerg as well as skills activities for companies and students.
CO2 infrastructure Aalborg at Aalborg Municipality: 5.2 million DKK for the preparation of a joint plan for CO2 infrastructure in the municipality.
PytoCCUS at Energy Cluster Denmark: 27.2 million DKK for a project on pyrolysis and CO2 capture at Agri Energy Vrå.
E-CH4 Booster at Pura Futura: 24.6 million DKK DKK for the development of technology for the production of E-methane from biogenic CO2 as well as new training courses in collaboration with Fredericia Maskinmesterskole and Rybners.
