We are delivering Denmark’s Energy Islands

The energy islands in the North and Baltic Sea are some of the largest construction projects in the history of Denmark. These islands provide the possibility to phase out fossil fuels and play a decisive role in advancing the green transition in both Denmark and Europe.

The Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities grants Denmark’s first full-scale CO2 storage permits in the Danish North Sea

The Danish Energy Agency (DEA) has now evaluated the applications and has recommended the Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities to award the first three (3) exclusive licenses for exploration of full-scale CO2 storage in the Danish North Sea to TotalEnergies and a consortium consisting of INEOS E&P and Wintershall DEA. The licenses are an important step towards realizing Denmark’s CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) strategy and will kick start the plan for the development of full-scale CO2 storage in Denmark.
