NordiCCS - Nordic CCS Competence Centre

NORDICCS is a virtual carbon capture and storage (CCS) networking platform aiming for increased CCS deployment in the five Nordic countries. The success of NORDICCS is dependent on active involvement from industrial partners.

Contact person

The main objective of NORDICCS is to boost the deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the Nordic countries by creating a durable network of excellence integrating R&D capacities and relevant industry with the purpose to:

  • Provide Nordic industry-driven leadership within CCS innovation and realization
  • Demonstrate how CCS can contribute to the Nordic portfolio of climate change mitigation options
  • Enable the Nordic countries to join forces to become pioneers in large-scale implementation of CCS
  • Multi-contextual focus to utilize Nordic differences for broad stakeholder and global relevance
  • Strengthen the competitive power of the region by combining complementary capacities of the Nordic countries
