Nordic Climate Neutrality: Carbon Capture and Storage and Carbon Dioxide Removal

Science calls for immediate and deep emission reductions across all sectors to avoid accelerating climate change. Hence, countries that have the tools, know-how and institutional and financial capacity must step up and lead by example. The Nordic region is well prepared to take on this responsibility and has a strong track record of leading by example. 

In this webinar series on Nordic climate neutrality, we will share insights on a set of topics of relevance for achieving climate neutrality in the Nordic region, aiming to share experiences and inspire across borders. This webinar is the fifth in the series.

Carbon Capture and Storage and Carbon Dioxide Removal

In this webinar, speakers from across the Nordic countries will share experiences on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). We will discuss what the most significant opportunities and barriers are and in what way Nordic collaboration could make significant contributions to support development of CCS/CDR in the Nordic region. 

Programme:

Introduction with Mia Nielsen, Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities

Presentations on CCS and CDR

• Tina Schon, Danish Energy Agency: Experiences from initial phase of CCS/CDR support scheme and way forward.
• Oras Tynkkynen, Member of Finnish Parliament: End date for releasing carbon - a policy breakthrough?
• NN, Carbfix, Iceland: Mineralisation storage, innovation and business development for carbon neutrality
• Martijn Smit, Northern Lights, Norway: Developing CO2 transportation and storage as a service
• Prof. Filip Johnsson, Chalmers, Sweden: Potential, opportunities and risks associated to CCS applied to fossil and biogenic CO2

Moderated panel discussion

• What are the most significant opportunities and barriers?
• In what way can Nordic coordination/collaboration make significant contributions to support development of CCS/CDR (in the light of carbon neutrality targets)?
• Closing remark from each panellist.

Nordic Stocktake and Vision

The webinar series is a part of the project “Nordic Stocktake and Vision – Pathways to Climate Neutrality”, carried out by a consortium consisting of the organizations CONCITO, CICERO, IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, University of Iceland and Reykjavik University, and Tyrsky Consulting. The project is a part of the initiative “Climate transition in the Nordics” to support the Nordic Vision 2030. The overall aim of the Nordic Vision is to become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030.
