TechThursday #2 – CCS and CCUS: From Capture to Commerce

08 – 08 May08:00 – 09:30

CCS and CCUS are key technologies in the effort to decarbonize heavy industry and energy production — but how do we move from pilot projects to profitable value chains?

In TechThursday #2, we explore how carbon capture and utilisation (CCUS) can evolve into viable commercial models. Through focused presentations, you’ll gain insights into technological solutions, market opportunities, and regulatory drivers.

We will discuss how Norway can build competitive advantages across the CO₂ capture, transport, and utilisation value chains — and how industry, technology providers, and financiers must collaborate to succeed.
