CCS 2025 – Carbon Capture and Storage Conference
CCS 2025 – Carbon Capture and Storage Conference
CCS 2025 is a two-day, in-depth seminar exploring the technical, commercial, and regulatory dimensions of the growing carbon capture and storage (CCS) industry. The conference brings together leaders from operators, policymakers, research, and technology providers to drive the scale-up of CCS from vision to reality.
Key topics:
- Global and national CCS perspectives — where the industry stands today
- Transitioning from the North Sea to a net-zero future
- Insights from CCS operators and licensing experiences
- Capturing, transporting, and storing CO₂ — building the chain
- Bridging research and industrial deployment
- Shared ambitions: collaboration between Norway, Europe, and global CCS efforts
CCS 2025 serves as an essential meeting place for stakeholders looking to understand policy direction, build partnerships, and contribute to the shared ambition of accelerating CCS as a critical climate solution. It offers a focused, high-level environment where knowledge exchange and strategic dialogue drive forward the next steps for carbon management in the region.
