Equinor 与合作伙伴 Orsted 和 Nordsofonden 一起获得了丹麦的首个 CCS 勘探许可证，成为其运营商。该合作伙伴将开始调查，以评估西北西兰岛的陆上许可证是否可以开发成安全的二氧化碳储存设施。

合作伙伴今天获得了名为 CO2 Storage Kalundborg 的项目的许可证持有者，该项目的水库位于地下约 1400 米处，每年可储存高达 1200 万吨的二氧化碳。

如果该合作伙伴在未来几年内成功将许可证开发成丹麦当局批准的二氧化碳储存设施，它将在本世纪末开始储存二氧化碳。

“我们很高兴与 rsted 和 Nordsofonden 一起获得这项勘探许可。开发大规模二氧化碳解决方案对于难以减排的行业来说至关重要，可以减少排放，同时保持工业活动和价值创造。我们在项目中的首要任务是确保在开始地震和地下数据收集之前满足环境要求。勘探阶段将持续数年，直到丹麦当局批准许可区域适合安全永久的二氧化碳储存，”Equinor 低碳解决方案高级副总裁 Grete Tveit 表示。

运营商 Equinor 持有授予的勘探许可证的 60% 股份，合作伙伴 rsted 持有 20% 股份，丹麦政府通过 Nordsofonden 参与，持有 20% 股份。

Equinor 预计其早期二氧化碳储存业务的实际基础项目回报率为 4-8%，而商业市场开发后，价值将进一步提升。

在丹麦勘探许可证时，我们将利用我们在挪威大陆架安全储存二氧化碳近 30 年的经验和其他 CCS 开发经验。完善更多的二氧化碳储存能力符合我们到 2035 年每年拥有 3000 万至 5000 万吨二氧化碳运输和储存能力的目标。Tveit 表示：“在 rsted 现有基础设施附近建立二氧化碳储存设施是一个不错的选择，因为我们正在结合我们作为行业合作伙伴的强大能力，建立一个完整的端到端二氧化碳捕获、运输和储存价值链。”

授予的许可证位于 rsted 已建立的航运和储存终端 rsted Kalundborg 二氧化碳枢纽附近。这家丹麦能源公司正在 Asn’s 发电厂建造一个二氧化碳捕获设施，该设施将于 2026 年初投入运营，二氧化碳将通过船舶出口到挪威的 Northern Lights 储存设施。 rsted 码头具有战略地位和规模，将成为接收和运输二氧化碳到合作伙伴关系将探索的潜在二氧化碳储存设施的关键组成部分。我们

很高兴我们与 Equinor 和 Nords’fonden 一起获得了探索卡伦堡市地区是否适合碳储存的许可。从 2026 年起，我们将从我们的两个热电联产厂捕获 430,000 吨生物二氧化碳，参与此次合作是我们建设 rsted 卡伦堡二氧化碳枢纽的自然下一步，因为我们已经在建立处理卡伦堡二氧化碳所需的物流、基础设施和终端解决方案。通过这种方式，我们是 Equinor 的良好合作伙伴，Equinor 将负责运营二氧化碳储存站，”RSTED 生物能源业务高级副总裁兼负责人 Ole Thomsen 说道。

Equinor has been awarded its first CCS exploration permit in Denmark as operator, together with partners Orsted and Nordsofonden. The partnership will start surveys to assess if the onshore license in the North West Zealand can be developed into a safe CO2 storage facility.

The partners were today awarded permit holders for the project named CO2 Storage Kalundborg, with a reservoir approximately 1400 meters below ground, and with a potential capacity to store up to 12 million tons of CO2 per year.

If the partnership over the next years successfully develops the permit into a CO2 storage facility approved by the Danish authorities, it could start storage of CO2 at the end of this decade.

“We are delighted to receive this exploration permit together with Ørsted and Nordsøfonden. Developing large-scale CO2 solutions is critical for hard-to-abate industries to reduce emissions while maintaining industrial activity and value creation. Our first important task in the project is to ensure that environmental requirements are met before seismic and subsurface data collection can start. The exploration phase will last several years, before the Danish authorities approves the license area as suitable for safe and permanent CO2 storage,” says Grete Tveit, senior vice president for Low Carbon Solutions in Equinor.

Operator Equinor holds a 60 per cent share in the awarded exploration license, with partner Ørsted having a 20 percent stake, and the Danish state participating through Nordsøfonden with a 20 percent equity.

Equinor expect 4-8 per cent real base project returns for its early phase CO2 storage business, and further value uplift potential when commercial markets are developed.

“We will use our experience from safely storing CO2 on the Norwegian Continental Shelf for nearly 30 years and other CCS developments when exploring the permit in Denmark. To mature more CO2 storage capacity aligns with our ambition of having 30 to 50 million tons of CO2 transport and storage capacity per year by 2035. A CO2 storage facility near Ørsted’s existing infrastructure is a good fit, as we are combining our strong capabilities as industry partners to establish a complete end-to-end CO2 capture, transport and storage value chain,” says Tveit.

The awarded license is in the vicinity of Ørsted’s established shipping and storage terminal Ørsted Kalundborg CO2 hub. Here the Danish energy company is constructing a CO2 capture facility at the Asnæs Power Plant, which is set to become operational from the beginning of 2026, with CO2 ship export to the Northern Lights storage facility in Norway. Ørsted’s terminal with its strategic position and scale will be a key component for reception and transport of CO2 to the potential CO2 storage facility the partnership will explore.

“We are pleased that we, along with Equinor and Nordsøfonden, have been awarded a license to explore whether the area in the municipality of Kalundborg is suitable for carbon storage. From 2026, we will capture 430,000 tons of biogenic CO2 from two of our combined heat and power plants, and being part of this collaboration is a natural next step in building our Ørsted Kalundborg CO2 Hub, as we are already establishing the logistics, infrastructure, and terminal solutions necessary for handling CO2 at Kalundborg. In this way, we are a good partner to Equinor, who will be operating the CO2 storage site" says Ole Thomsen, senior vice president and head of Ørsted’s Bioenergy business.
