Financing the energy transition:

Who pays for carbon capture and storage? Exploring bankability beyond the initial tenders

Insights for the finance community

Join us for a 1-hour event on 8 October in Copenhagen or via live stream.

Date:  8 October 2025
Time: 09:00 - 10:00
Place: Spisehuset, Tietgensgade 67, 1704 Copenhagen or via livestream

   

As part of our Financing the energy transition series, this event will explore how carbon capture and storage can move beyond early-stage support schemes to become a truly bankable asset class, unpacking who ultimately carries the financial risk, where capital can be mobilised at scale, and what it will take to turn ambition into reality. 

Hosted in Copenhagen and available via live stream, the session offers a candid fireside chat with experts who bring diverse perspectives and insights from across the value chain. 

Our fireside chat will include the following speakers:

Financiers panel Copenhagen 2026

Denmark has emerged as one of Europe's most advanced CCS markets, combining ambitious climate policies with significant investments in carbon capture, transport and storage infrastructure.

The recent conclusion of Denmark's major CCS subsidy tender, culminating in support for Aalborg Portland's ACCSION project, marks an important step from policy ambition to industrial-scale deployment. At the same time, the tender revealed the challenges of creating bankable CCS business cases, making the role of financiers, lenders and investors more important than ever.

This is consistent with DNV's Energy Transition Outlook, which identifies CCS as an essential decarbonisation lever for hard-to-abate sectors and a critical component of the pathway towards net zero.

Join a candid fireside chat with industry experts to dive into the financing dynamics behind CCS projects - where capital is (and isn’t) flowing, how risk is being allocated across the value chain, and what financial structures are emerging as the market moves from policy-driven pilots to scalable investment opportunities.
