Carbon capture, storage and utilisation

Carbon capture, storage, and utilisation (CCSU) are important tools for reducing emissions and accelerating the green transition. Through technologies like power-to-x, we can use the CO2e we already emit as a sustainable energy and fuel in other sectors. This is the next phase in Denmark’s energy transition.

Utilising CO₂

15 November 2022
Biogenic CO₂ is an important feedstock for climate-neutral fuels and plastics. As an example, utilising captured carbon in the production of e-fuels is carbon neutral because the carbon is recycled. The consumption of e-fuels can have a further positive climate impact as it can substitute the use of fossil fuels.
