CCS & H2 Delegation to North Rhine-Westphalia, 11-12 December 2024

Carbon, Capture, and Storage (CCS) and Green Hydrogen are gaining increasing attention in Germany. With its substantial share of large CO2 emitting sources, ambitious emission reduction goals and an explicit need for green hydrogen, Germany holds great potential as an importer of Danish green hydrogen, and for the adoption of CO2 capture technologies, and transport infrastructure for exporting CO2 to Danish storage facilities.

Therefore, Danish Industry, Embassy in Berlin and Danish Energy Export are organising a two-part event focusing on CCS, hydrogen and energy infrastructure cooperation between Germany and Denmark. Learn more about the first event here.

This second event will take place in Germany’s industrial heartland and most populous state, North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW),  which is responsible for much of Germany’s value creation and a substantial share of its CO2 emissions. To maintain its position as an industrial hub, while becoming green NRW is focusing on two technological solutions: CCS and green hydrogen.

For both technologies, Germany relies on collaboration with external partners. Due to ongoing domestic debates around CO2 storage, Germany aims to export captured CO2 rather than storing it locally. In regard to hydrogen, Germany has assessed the need to import up to 70 pct. of its total hydrogen demand by 2030 – a need that will only increase over time. Overall, this aligns well with Danish plans to import CO2 and export green hydrogen.

Furthermore, the ramp-up phase of both technologies will prioritize industrial centres such as NRW, making it an ideal destination for further strengthening Danish-German cooperation.

Why join:

·        Gain knowledge on the CCS and hydrogen policies of Germany´s largest industrial hub.

·        Learn more about the main possibilities and barriers your company would encounter in NRW.

·        Share perspectives that could influence the development of future framework conditions and auction designs.

·        Position your company as a leading strategic partner in the future development of NRW’s CCS and hydrogen plans.

·        Get direct access to key public and private stakeholders in NRW and the possibility to build partnerships within the German CCS and H2 economy.

·       Influence the value chain development for cross-border CCS and green hydrogen infrastructure.
