#69 Scaling CCS - Non-technical challenges and solutions for Carbon Capture in Norway and beyond (with Markus Steen - SINTEF Technology Management)
In this episode, we'll explore the non-technical challenges and solutions for scaling CCS in Norway and beyond with Senior Research Scientist Markus Steen from SINTEF. We'll discuss the importance of CCS in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the role of the state in supporting this technology, and the various economic and organizational hurdles that need to be overcome. Steen, who coordinates the CaptureX project funded by the Norwegian Research Council's CLIMIT program, provides a detailed look into the complexities of integrating CCS into existing industries and the importance of local contexts in determining the success of CCS initiatives. We also touch on previous episodes covering CCS: #58 – Electrification of Melkøya - why not CCS (Eivind Berstad, Bellona) #51 – Status Quo CCS in Norway (Emil Yde Aasen, Aker Carbon Capture) #32 – CCS in Europe – Still dead or rising like a Phoenix (Eadbhard Pernot, Director Policy zero Emissions Platform)
