Danish energy storage projects

Does Denmark have CO2 storage in the North Sea?

The Danish Energy Agency received two applications in the first round of licenses for CO 2 storage in the Danish North Sea. The two applications came from TotalEnergies EP Danmark A/S and a consortium consisting of INEOS E&P and Wintershall Dea International.

What are Denmark's CO2 storage licenses?

The licenses are an important step towards realizing Denmark’s CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) strategy and will kick start the plan for the development of full-scale CO2 storage in Denmark. The Danish Energy Agency received two applications in the first round of licenses for CO 2 storage in the Danish North Sea.

What is the energy storage project in Belgium?

The main energy storage project in Belgium is the construction and operation of an offshore “energy atoll” (essentially a manmade offshore pumped-storage facility), for which the Electricity Act has been modified in 2014 (see below), in order to support offshore wind-generated electricity production.

Can Denmark be a commercial hub for CO2 storage?

The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has previously demonstrated that the Danish subsurface is particularly suitable for CO 2 storage, both offshore and onshore, thus enabling the opportunity for Denmark to serve as a commercial hub for CO 2 storage from all of Europe. What does the permit entail?

How much CO2 can the Danish subsurface store?

GEUS has estimated that the Danish subsurface theoretically can store up to 22 billion tons (GT) of CO 2. This is equivalent to between 500 and 1000 years of total Danish emissions at current levels. Contact Head of Division, Henrik Sulsbrück, tlf: 33 92 66 86, [email protected]

When are the new energy licenses issued in Denmark?

Awarding of the new licenses takes place after the Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities has presented a report to the Climate, Energy and Utilities Committee of the Danish Parliament explaining which licenses the minister intends to issue.
