Wintershall Dea, in collaboration with partners INEOS Energy Denmark and Nordsøfonden, has secured the operatorship for the Greenstore CO2 storage license in Jutland, Denmark. This achievement signifies a significant milestone as the first onshore Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) license round in the country. Awarded by the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Utilities, the project aims to establish a robust carbon capture and storage industry in Europe, with a focus on reducing CO2 emissions domestically and continentally. The endeavor in the Gassum area, near Randers in Jutland, has been meticulously analyzed by The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and is one of the designated onshore areas suitable for CO2 storage in Denmark. The ambitious work program led by Wintershall Dea and partners will address uncertainties regarding storage capacity and development planning, with updates planned throughout the project's lifecycle. Anticipating the first injection in 2029, the project targets storing up to 250 million tons of CO2 across two geological formations at depths between 2000 and 3000 meters below the surface. Wintershall Dea acknowledges Denmark's regulatory framework and geological advantages as pivotal for fostering a commercially viable CCS industry, essential for meeting climate goals in Denmark, Germany, and broader European environmental targets. Anne-Mette Cheese, Country Lead for Carbon Management and Hydrogen in Denmark, emphasized the importance of this initiative in advancing the region's sustainability efforts.
