Open Grid Europe
Martin Frings is the Head of Business Development for CO2 Infrastructure
at Open Grid Europe (OGE), the largest gas transmission system operator in Germany and a pioneer
in the field of CO2 transportation. Together with his team, he is working on the development of a
Germany-wide infrastructure for CO2, in the European context and on the implementation of a future
CO2 market.
Martin previously held various positions at OGE. He began his career at the RWE group, where he also
held various positions in the field of energy transmission. He has over 25 years of experience in the
energy sector and would describe himself as a child of the liberalized and regulated energy world

Sessions with this speaker:
A successful CCUS value chain as a climate mitigation tool must accommodate a wide range of CO₂ sources—from major international volumes to regional clusters and smaller-scale emitters. This session explores how diverse emission profiles impact infrastructure needs, logistics, and deployment pace.
Can infrastructure be shared across scales? What dependencies exist between the actors? Can coordination between large and small players unlock synergies and accelerate CCUS deployment?
Join us for a discussion on bridging scale, aligning needs, and building a truly integrated CO₂ transport and storage system.
