Establishing a strong operational base for offshore CCS

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) has been pinpointed as an important technology to achieve climate neutrality in 2050, by both EU and the International Panel on Climate Change (IPPC). Denmark has particularly favorable conditions for developing CCS solutions thanks to the underground geology, its maritime history and strong offshore competencies.

In 2023, TotalEnergies in Denmark was granted two adjacent exploration licenses as part of the Bifrost Project to develop carbon storage in the Danish North Sea. One area covers the existing gas field of Harald while the other is an adjacent underground sandstone formation containing saline water. TotalEnergies EP Denmark is supporting the operational aspects of our Danish CCS ambition. The plan is to store a minimum of five million tons of CO₂ annually in the Bifrost storage by 2030, and a robust work program has been designed to bring the parties forward to that goal.

The Bifrost Project

The Bifrost project consists of multiple sub-elements with different participants:
• An EUDP supported study developing a concept for storage at the depleted Harald gas field. All DUC partners are part of the project.
• A commercial project aiming at storing CO₂ in the Harald field. This project is owned 80% by TotalEnergies and 20% by Nordsøfonden.
• A commercial project aiming at storing CO₂ in an acquifier next to the Harald field. The project is owned 80% by TotalEnergies and 20% by Nordsøfonden.
