Expertises in the capture, storage and utilization of carbon dioxide

RISE experts within CCS/CCU offer actors in both business and society e.g

• economic assessments and comparisons between different technology tracks
• evaluations of climate benefits and other environmental and sustainability assessments
• studies of how different technologies can be integrated into host facilities (cogeneration plants and industrial facilities) for energy and cost-effecient carbon dioxide separation/conversion
• studies of infrastructure and logistics arrangements for carbon dioxide
• investigation and evaluation of suitable storage locations
• support regarding the design of effecient policy instruments and analyzes of the impact of various policy instruments on different technologies and actors
• summaries of the state of knowledge

Through our mobile pilot plants, there is also the opportunity to develop and demonstrate techniques for the separation, processing and conversion of carbon dioxide.

RISE operations in the (BE)CCS/U area covers the entire value chain (capture, purification and processing, storage and conversion of carbon dioxide into various products), both with regard to the large point emissions of biogenic carbon dioxide and for CCS/CCU in biochemical and thermochemical conversion of biomass, and includes competences regarding different system levels from the development of technologies for separation, processing and conversion of carbon dioxide to system studies including process integration, techno-economic assessments, sustainability analyzes as well as policy instruments and markets.
