The aim of Hydrogen, electrofuels and CCUS in a Nordic context is to support increased production and consumption of clean hydrogen, electrofuels as well as CCU and CCS. By way of innovative technology, this project promotes the reach for climate goals and visions.
The Nordic region has ambitious climate goals and visions that can be achieved with innovative technology. Therefore, the project covers the following topics:
- Benefits from an energy and climate transition perspective: The study describes preconditions, demands, and benefits of implementation of the technologies in different sectors from an energy and climate transition perspective in the Nordic countries. This includes a business perspective and a risk assessment (incl. environmental). The conditions necessary to realise these benefits are also taken into account.
- Nordic strengths and synergies: Strengths and potential synergies based on the countries’ different demands, needs, and opportunities from a Nordic perspective.
- Relevant political goals within the fields of energy, climate and business: Political goals on different levels that affect the development of hydrogen, electro-fuels, bio-CCUS and CCUS.
- Existing support measures and policies: Existing policies that have the most significant impact on the different technologies are highlighted and how they affect the conditions for implementation (obstacles/barriers).
- Policy and market development: Significant existing and proposed market and policy initiatives aimed at promoting hydrogen, electro-fuels, bio-CCUS and CCUS in other regions of Europe and key countries outside Europe are highlighted. Market development/trends and business models are described.
- Technical and economic status and development: Developments within the technologies and their applications, as well as cost development and implication of different technology options. A structured description of the different options available to produce hydrogen and electro-fuels – including type and origin of inputs/feedstocks, electricity, CO2 – is included, as well as mapping of the current production, storage, distribution and consumption in each of the Nordic countries.
