To uphold a sustainable growth in the future, a considerable reduction in CO2 emissions is essential. Carbon capture, transport and long-term storage (CCS) is one of the bridging technologies that could bring the world into a decarbonised energy future.
Carbon capture and storage - a promising means to reduce CO2 emissions
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is one of the promising means to reduce CO2 emissions. The approach is to isolate CO2 from a gas stream and prevent it from emitting into the atmosphere by storing it into a suitable geological reservoir. Main sources of CO2 will be fossil fuel power plants and large scale process industry.
Today, there is a number of ongoing CCS-related projects worldwide, but a full-scale end-to-end CCS chain does not yet exist. Hence, there is a requirement to fill knowledge gaps and investigate concerning issues when developing a fully integrated CCS system. There are several key challenges which need to be solved in this development:
- Technical uncertainties
- Economical feasibility
- Legislation
- Environmental impact.

DNV to facilitate Europe’s CCS development
DNV has been asked by the European Commission to facilitate a process to shorten the time from policy making to industry implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
No solution without CCS
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) will become a trillion dollar business in the future, reaching the same scale as today’s oil business. However, normal market mechanisms will not work. Governments must provide incentive schemes in order for CCS to take off.
