DNV has been asked by the European Commission to facilitate a process to shorten the time from policy making to industry implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
The European Commission is focusing heavily on stimulating the construction and operation of a set of CCS demonstration projects by 2015. The successful operation of these is crucial for wide-scale commercial application of CCS within 2020.
Now, the Commission intends to generate early benefits from a coordinated European action by creating a knowledge-sharing network of CCS demonstration projects. DNV will facilitate this integrating and binding project on behalf of the Commission.
"The aim is to speed up, integrate, and optimise the wide-scale commercial application in Europe", says DNV Chief Operating Officer Remi Eriksen.
