Local value creation in carbon capture, storage and use: the development of cross-sectorial business set-ups and pathways

Large parts of the Danish energy infrastructure are characterized by strong local support and ownership. This concerns electricity distribution, district heating, wind power and solar photovoltaics. In that respect, Denmark is unique globally and now has the chance to build on this strong local foundation to accelerate the development of CCUS pathways.

An understanding of how to integrate CCUS pathways into a preexisting energy system can accelerate the green transition across different sectors and bring value to public-private partnerships by using local actors such as municipalities, companies, and citizens as a case.
