In addition, analysis from GEUS show, at the Danish subsoil is particularly suitable for storing CO2.

CCS Policy developments in Denmark

Since 2020, a broad majority in the Danish parliament has reached several political agreements on CCS, establishing a robust political framework for a Danish CCS strategy. The key element of the strategy is the focus on establishing a market for the full CCS value-chain, while recognizing the need for kick-starting it through support schemes. Moreover, the involvement of various stakeholders such as industry, regions, municipalities and citizens is a vital element, ensuring a transparent and inclusive implementation. Political agreements, tenders, licenses, environmental analysis, and other relevant information are publicly available.
