Analysing bottlenecks for scaling CDR value chains and the influence of market power

Research Project, 2025 – 2030

The project investigates how carbon dioxide removal through carbon capture technologies (BECCS and DACCS) can be scaled up in the Nordic region by connecting technology, energy, and finance. It collaborates with key stakeholders and decision-makers to create new investment models that enable real and large-scale climate benefits.
 
The project's goal is to promote a large-scale and sustainable expansion of carbon dioxide removal methods BECCS and DACCS in the Nordic region to contribute to climate goals and achieve net negative emissions. By linking technical, economic, and societal perspectives, the project examines how investments, policy instruments, and market models can be designed to enable effective and fair carbon removal systems. The work is based on energy system modelling, economic analyses, and co-creative policy workshops involving researchers, energy companies, transport and storage actors, banks, investors, and public authorities.
