The interdependencies in the CCS business value chain are significant, because the CO₂ storage provider can’t commit to a final investment decision, often with billions of Euro at stake, if they don’t have commitment from an emitter. We propose a solution: a portfolio approach.

Interview in Norwegian Finansavisen TV with Tim Dodson and Ecteras CEO Sidsel Lindsø transcribed and translated for our English speaking audience.

There exist a discrepancy between the usage of published CO₂ capacity estimates and their intention. Here we explain why it exist and present the SRMS classifcation framework that is the solution to avoid confusion and uncertainty.

The article also explains the lengthy process of an appraisal and development program for a CO₂ storage site, and why it is a lengthy process to mature a potential CO₂ storage site from an idea in a screening project to achieve actual operational status.
