In this episode, we'll explore the non-technical challenges and solutions for scaling CCS in Norway and beyond with Senior Research Scientist Markus Steen from SINTEF. We'll discuss the importance of CCS in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the role of the state in supporting this technology, and the various economic and organizational hurdles that need to be overcome.
Steen, who coordinates the CaptureX project funded by the Norwegian Research Council's CLIMIT program, provides a detailed look into the complexities of integrating CCS into existing industries and the importance of local contexts in determining the success of CCS initiatives.
