Climeworks, the company behind the world's first and largest Direct Air Capture and Storage (DAC+S) plant in Iceland, has been awarded funding by Enova, a state enterprise owned by Norway's Ministry of Climate and Environment. The funding will support a feasibility study to bring DAC+S technology to Norway, a world leader in renewable energy. Climeworks' proposal aims to build a multi-kiloton-capacity DAC+S plant in Norway by 2030, with the potential to remove 1.7 million tons of CO2 per year. This project aligns with Norway's commitment to clean energy and its efforts to achieve the net-zero targets of the Paris Agreement.
, the company responsible for the world’s first and largest Direct Air Capture and Storage plant in Iceland, has been awarded, a state enterprise owned by Norway ’s Ministry of Climate and Environment. The multi-million euro boon for the world leader in DAC facilities will fund a feasibility study to bring DAC+S to Norway , a world leader in renewable energy .
Climeworks’ winning proposal investigates building a multi-kiloton-capacity DAC+S plant in Norway by 2030. Project Norse Pine is one of nine projects awarded, whose combined targeted capture capacity will remove 1.7 million tons of CO2 per year or roughly half of all emissions from Norway’s passenger cars. In a country where 98% of energy comes from renewable sources like hydropower, adding DAC+S to the equation would accelerate progress towards the Paris Agreement’s net-zero targets.
Norway’s demonstrated commitment to clean energy makes it an ideal location for Climeworks’ next DAC+S plant. Their facilities require a reliable clean energy source, and permanent storage options. Norway, boasting a two million square kilometer continental shelf capable of storing several gigatons of CO2, is a global leader in the development of large-scale geological CO2 storage.
Climeworks seems to have cracked the code in finding and collaborating with governments and private enterprises to fund and develop DAC+S around the globe. These are countries that have demonstrated their commitment to meeting Paris Agreement targets through investing in emerging and proven technologies, like Climeworks’ projects.
