9. Beginning of a European network for CO2 removal
EU PCI application submitted
PCIs (Projects of Common Interest) are infrastructure project that link energy systems of EU countries.
PCI status is a milestone for a project to be eligible for EU CEF funding.
Northern Lights PCI application has 15 partners from 7 countries

10. Capture candidates need many things for realizing their projects
Strategic fit with company interests
Political and public support
Stepwise project maturation: feasibility – concept - FEED – execution - operation
Trust in solutions and partners
Policy frameworks coming in place
Dedicated public funding of increasing size: e.g. 1 – 3 – 10 – 100 million €
See proof of future markets
