gigaCCS

Building on 40 years of CCS expertise, the gigaCCS research centre, coordinated by SINTEF, advances global implementation of CCS at gigatonne scale through industry-driven research and by training the next generation of experts. Meeting emission reduction targets in Norway, Europe, and globally is not possible without carbon capture and storage (CCS). While a few full-scale projects exist today, their capacity is measured in millions of tonnes of CO2 annually – we need billions to reach a net-zero future. gigaCCS is an FME – a Norwegian centre for environment-friendly energy research – advancing CCS technologies to achieve this gigatonne-scale deployment. It is supported by the Research Council of Norway along with industrial partners and research institutes. gigaCCS builds on the success of FME NCCS (2016–2024) and FME BIGCCS (2008–2016).
