The European Green Deal recognises the important role of carbon capture, utilisation and storage as a key technology for industrial decarbonisation. There are currently two operating large-scale CCS facilities in Europe, both in Norway.

In this CCS Talks episode we examine the development of what may become Europe’s next CCS facilities; the Full-Scale Project in Norway and the Porthos project in the Netherlands. Final investment decision is anticipated for each of these critical projects in the next 12 months.

Our guests also discuss the development and key steps leading to the Final Investment Decision and how it these facilities might develop and contribute to decarbonisation more widely.

Speakers include:

Trude Sundset, CEO, Gassnova - The Full Scale Project in Norway

Mark Driessen, Manager, Public Affairs - Port of Rotterdam, Porthos Project

Jamie Burrows - Client Engagement Manager, Global CCS Institute
