歐盟委員會批準了一項12億美元的丹麥計劃，以支持碳捕獲和儲存(CCS)技術的推廣。

該措施有助于實現丹麥的氣候目標和歐盟在《歐洲綠色協議》和2050年氣候中和目標下的戰略目標。

丹麥宣布的計劃總預算約為12億美元，旨在推廣用于減少大氣中二氧化碳排放和實現工業過程更深層次脫碳的CCS技術。該措施將支持CCS成為緩解氣候變化的可行而有效的工具。預計這將增加投資者對該技術的信心，并促進丹麥CCS商業市場的發展。

根據該計劃，援助將通過競爭性招標程序授予，招標程序將于2023年結束。招標將向活躍在許多工業部門的公司開放，包括廢物處理和能源部門。根據一份為期20年的合同，受益者將從2026年起每年捕獲和儲存至少40萬噸二氧化碳。

這筆援助將包括在合同有效期內捕獲和儲存一噸二氧化碳的估計總成本與受益人預期收益之間的差額。經通貨膨脹因素調整后，援助的最高金額約為每年5950萬美元。

該計劃將有助于丹麥在2030年之前將溫室氣體排放量在1990年的基礎上減少70%。該計劃預計每年將捕獲和儲存至少40萬噸二氧化碳，在合同的20年期間將捕獲和儲存800萬噸二氧化碳。

該計劃是必要和適當的，以支持減少溫室氣體排放，通過捕獲和儲存二氧化碳在丹麥，從而有助于歐盟和國家的氣候目標。

“這項耗資11億歐元(12億美元)的計劃將使丹麥能夠捕獲和儲存大量的二氧化碳，防止其釋放到大氣中。它將幫助丹麥最遲在2050年實現氣候中和的雄心勃勃的目標，符合歐洲綠色協議的目標，同時確保將競爭扭曲保持在最低限度?！必撠煾偁幷叩膱绦懈笨偛矛敻覃愄亍ぞS斯特格說。

EU Approves $1.2Bn Scheme For Danish CCS Technology

The European Commission has approved a $1.2 billion Danish scheme to support the roll-out of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies.

The measure contributes to the achievement of Denmark's climate targets and the EU's strategic objectives under the European Green Deal and the 2050 climate neutrality goal.

The scheme notified by Denmark, with a total budget of around $1.2 billion, aims at promoting the roll-out of CCS technologies used to reduce CO2 emissions that are released in the atmosphere and achieve deeper decarbonization of industrial processes. The measure will support CCS as a viable and effective tool to mitigate climate change. This is expected to increase investor confidence in the technology and facilitate the development of a commercial CCS market in Denmark.

Under the scheme, the aid will be awarded through a competitive tendering procedure to be concluded in 2023. The tender will be open to companies active in many industrial sectors, including the waste and energy sectors. Under a 20-year contract, the beneficiary will capture and store an annual minimum of 0.4 million tons of CO2 from 2026.

The aid will cover the difference between the estimated total costs of capturing and storing a ton of CO2 over the lifetime of the contract and the return expected by the beneficiary. The maximum amount of aid will be equal to around $59.5 million per year, adjusted for inflation.

The scheme will contribute to Denmark's efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 70 percent by 2030 compared to the 1990 level. The scheme is expected to enable the capture and storage of a minimum of 0.4 million tons of CO2 per year and 8 million tons of CO2 over the total 20-year period of the contract.

The scheme is necessary and appropriate to support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through the capture and storage of CO2 in Denmark and thereby contribute to the EU and national climate targets.

“This €1.1 billion [$1.2Bn] scheme will enable Denmark to capture and store a significant amount of CO2, preventing its release into the atmosphere. It will help Denmark achieve its ambitious target of climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest, in line with the European Green Deal objectives, while ensuring that competition distortions are kept to the minimum,” Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President in charge of competition policy, said.
