Ministry of Petroleum and Energywww.mpe.dep.no An Ambitious Policy for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage in Norway (1) Co-operate with industry to realize CCS at gas-fired power plants as soon as possible Establish value chain for CO 2 Ambitions to be implemented in a sound manner, economically and legally

Ministry of Petroleum and Energywww.mpe.dep.no An Ambitious Policy for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage in Norway (2) Gassco, in collaboration with Petoro and Gassnova, asked to identify potential value chains for CO 2 6 fields on the Norwegian continental shelf candidates for CO 2 injection None of the identified value chains show a positive commercial return

Ministry of Petroleum and Energywww.mpe.dep.no Need for further technology development In order for CCS technologies to be introduced on a commercially viable basis, there is a need for further technology development New or improved methods of CO 2 capture can significantly reduce costs Gassnova focuses on a broad portfolio of different technology options Sintef

Ministry of Petroleum and Energywww.mpe.dep.no Conclusion CCS important in meeting energy and climate challenges Realizing CCS on a large scale is a very challenging task The Norwegian Government has ambitious goals
