Tirza van Daalen and Kristin Margrethe Flornes emphasize the importance of strategic partnerships in propelling innovation in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and hydrogen. The alliance between NORCE, TNO, Equinor, Gasunie, and EBN aims to address energy transition challenges, with a focus on developing CCS technology and enhancing energy infrastructure. A joint study on low carbon hydrogen in Eemshaven, Netherlands, facilitated by Norwegian gas, is set to provide valuable insights for policy formulation and business case refinement. The study will delve into assessing demand, infrastructure requirements, regulatory frameworks, and business drivers for the planned low carbon hydrogen facility. By collaborating, the involved parties seek to accelerate the transition towards a greener energy system supported by sustainable practices. This cooperative effort not only fosters innovation but also lays the groundwork for a more environmentally friendly and financially viable energy sector.
