DNV Pipeline Day in Hamburg

Join us on 12 November in Hamburg to discuss pipeline network development in Germany and Northern Europe

A reliable CO2 pipeline network is key in Germany's and Northern Europe's energy transition. Scaling CCS deployment is needed for industrial decarbonization and will rely on the development of an optimal national and cross-border CO2 pipeline network.

At our second Pipeline Day in Hamburg on 12 November, we will again bring together stakeholders from various segments within the pipeline industry at DNV’s Pipeline Day to explore the latest developments, challenges and opportunities. This year’s focus is on fossil and CO2 pipeline infrastructure, featuring technologies, case studies, project updates and market outlook.

Our aim is to foster a continuous dialogue and close cooperation among all stakeholders in the German energy industry: we strongly believe that this is essential for driving forward the energy transition and achieving a deep decarbonization across all sectors.
