Challenge
Located off the west coast of Jutland and spanning an area of 3,168 km², Project Bifrost stands as TotalEnergies’ flagship CO₂ storage initiative in the Danish North Sea. The first two licenses, Harald and Dagny, awarded in 2023 are co-owned by TotalEnergies (45 percent, operator), Schwenk via CarbonVault (35%), and Nordsøfonden (20 percent), while the latest license, Inez, awarded in 2026, brings the partnership of TotalEnergies (65 percent, operator), Nordsøfonden (20 percent), and Mitsui (15 percent). The project aims to facilitate the transportation of CO₂ collected from industrial emitters for permanent storage beneath the seabed. It is currently undergoing evaluation and appraisal work before transport and storage operations can begin.”
Solution
Project Bifrost also pioneers advanced monitoring technologies and explores the socio-economic dimensions of CO₂ storage. In doing so, it supports Denmark’s climate goals and creates new opportunities for the offshore workforce.
The project leverages existing infrastructure operated by the Danish Underground Consortium and other key energy players, such as owners of offshore fields, facilities, and pipeline networks. This ensures a scalable, long-term solution to unlock the Danish North Sea’s CO₂ storage potential.
Result
Project Bifrost expects to begin CO₂ injection by 2030, developing an annual storage capacity of over 5 million tons of CO₂. This will significantly contribute to the decarbonization of Danish and European countries.
It is currently undergoing evaluation and appraisal work before transport and storage operations can begin.
