The project marks an important step towards the establishment of a strong carbon capture and storage industry in Europe, which will help Denmark and the rest of Europe reach the EU climate targets.
Ambitious collaboration to reduce CO2 emissions
The Greenstore project, which is being developed in collaboration with INEOS Energy Denmark and Nordsøfonden, will transform an area between Hobro and Randers into a safe and efficient storage site for CO2. According to studies by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), this area has the necessary geological conditions to handle long-term CO2 storage. Storage is expected to start in 2029, provided that all necessary regulatory approvals are in place.
Putting the green agenda on the map of Denmark
Wintershall Dea, which has extensive experience from similar projects such as Snøhvit in Norway and Greensand in the Danish North Sea, sees the Greenstore project as a milestone in reducing CO2 emissions.
”Being awarded this licence is a big step, not only for us and the entire Danish green transition but also for the global climate goals. We are proud to put the green agenda on the Danish map and show what is possible with strong partnerships and innovative solutions,” says Kjetil Hjertvik, Public Relations Manager at Harbour Energy.
One step closer to climate goals
The Greenstore project is not only a technological milestone, but also an example of how Denmark and European partners together can drive the green transition forward. The project supports Denmark’s goal of carbon neutrality while creating a platform for international collaboration on climate-friendly solutions.
