The doors will open and badge pickup will be available upon arrival. Take this opportunity to enjoy a cup of coffee, connect with fellow attendees, and start networking before the event begins.

This session opens the conference with a strategic look at what it takes to realize a functioning CCUS value chain. Government perspectives will highlight priorities, enablers, and the need for coordinated effort across the ecosystem. The session sets the direction for a day focused on solutions, collaboration, and accelerating deployment.

CCUS is no longer just a vision — it is becoming a reality.
This session provides a broad perspective on international approaches, balancing opportunities with challenges.

We will explore how different nations are developing a CCUS value chain, highlighting best practices and key learnings. Topics include regulatory developments and successful strategies.

The session aims to inspire collaboration by showcasing how national efforts contribute to a stronger CCUS value chain.

A break with snacks & refreshments. Mingle with other participants and expand your network

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.

With a diverse set of emitters, scalable and flexible carbon capture technologies are essential. This session will showcase advancements in capture solutions, from high-capacity systems to modular technologies. It will also highlight how digitalization, AI, and automation can improve efficiency, optimize operations, and reduce costs across the CCUS value chain.

Sit down for lunch at the Hotel Restaurant

We will provide insights into market dynamics and trends, helping to contextualize the strategic decisions companies face in this rapidly evolving landscape. What drives companies to take the lead in implementing carbon capture solutions?

This session will focus on the motivations, challenges, and opportunities faced by key emitters such as energy producers, cement manufacturers, and heavy industry players.

Early movers will share their experiences, highlighting the risks and rewards of adopting carbon capture technologies, and whether being a frontrunner could lead to a competitive edge—or disadvantage.

A break with snacks & refreshments. Mingle with other participants and expand your network

This session dives into the barriers hindering the widespread adoption of CCUS technologies. From financial constraints to policy uncertainties, speakers will address the risks involved and explore how to make CCS bankable.

Discussions will also cover innovative business models, investment opportunities, and how government and private sectors can share responsibilities to accelerate implementation.

A break with snacks & refreshments. Mingle with other participants and expand your network

This session will explore industrial applications, and its role in the circular economy. We’ll discuss how CO₂ utilization supports climate goals while creating business opportunities, emphasizing the cost benefits of making products instead of just storing CO₂.

In this closing panel, industry leaders and researchers will come together to debate the future of CCS and CCUS.

The panel will address urgent questions: What is at stake if we delay action? What is needed to make CCUS a cornerstone of global climate strategy?

Panellists will share their visions for the road ahead, leaving the audience with clear takeaways on how to drive momentum and make CCUS a reality.

Let’s wrap up today

Networking for speakers and participants, snacks and drinks will be served.

Rosenkildehuset is a short 3-minute walk from the conference hotel.

Visit the Stavanger region’s largest CO₂ emission point – a waste incineration plant with ambitious plans to capture 150,000 tons of CO₂ by 2030. This project has received NOK 11 million from Enova for further development. The capacity for option A is 25 people, and the first to express interest through ticket purchase will be prioritised.

The day concludes with presentations from four CCUS technology companies (TBA) at Risavika Technology Park in Tananger; a tour of the gas test center, and lunch.

The First Mile CCS Logistics Solution for Small and Mid-size Emitters
CCS logistics is one of the challenges that need to be solved. The energy transformation requires effective and all-encompassing solutions to capture and transport CO₂. Captured CO₂ may either be utilized in industrial processes or stored permanently. Norway is hosting the first large-scale CCS value chain project through Northern Lights. This is, however, not set up to capture the coming and required flow of CO₂ from small- and medium-volume emitters.
The first mile – i.e., handling of CO₂ from emitter to storage – requires flexible and scalable solutions. ACUS has been working together with partners UMOE Composite and ASCO over the past few years, focusing on these challenges.

Workshop Program Outline:

09.00: ACUS – Who Are We?
ACUS was engaged in the Danish first CO₂ onshore storage application round (2023–24), on behalf of a major European emitter. In addition to delivering a comprehensive logistics and CO₂ storage study, we conduct various advisory services. Since 2020, ACUS has established close cooperation with European partners — both emitters and logistics providers. The CO₂ management concept in the ‘Danish case’ was based on multimodal logistics solutions and de-risking of underground storages.
ACUS has strong multidisciplinary competence within geoscience and reservoirs, drilling and wells, supply chain management, project management, and logistics.

09.30: Current CCS Storage Offers Offshore Norway, On- and Offshore Denmark
• Norwegian offshore CO₂ storage concept
• The Danish CCS approach

10.00: The First Mile CCS Logistics Solutions by ACUS – UMOE Composite – ASCO Logistics
Potential – Capacity and Flexibility:
For whom can this be the first solution for the first mile? Small- and mid-size emitters?

10.45: Norwegian Examples Defining the Needs of Small- to Medium-Size Emitters and for Multimodal Logistics Solutions
Case presentations

11.00: Eramet
Currently installing carbon capture at their Sauda melting plant, however without any supply chain to take the CO₂ for storage or alternative use.

11.15: Møkster Shipping
Planning to install a CO₂ capture system on one of their platform supply vessels. Their main challenge is that there is no supply chain to handle the CO₂ once it is placed on the quayside in a transport tank.

11.30: Lyse Biogas
Planning to establish several biogas plants. For the time being, they may emit the CO₂ they sequester from raw methane, since biogas is classified as climate neutral. There could be a market, e.g., greenhouses that currently truck in CO₂ over long distances.

11.45: A Possible Regional Solution – CCS Rogaland
The CCS Rogaland concept: Can cooperation among multiple partners located in Rogaland offer a possible solution for CCS logistics to a collection point, and — in the longer term — access to storage for small- to medium-volume emitters?
