Geoinženiring has been actively engaged in research on carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies for the past fifteen years. The company has participated in several European projects focused on geological CO₂ storage as a method for reducing atmospheric CO₂ emissions.
Through a successful application under the EU Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, Geoinženiring, together with multiple partners from the European Research Area, secured funding for the project ENOS – Enabling Onshore CO₂ Storage.
This four-year project focuses on supporting the decarbonization of the fossil-fuel-based energy sector and energy-intensive industries through the application of CCS technologies. Special emphasis is placed on the development of pilot sites for geological CO₂ storage in Europe, as previous studies have identified the lack of such sites as a major bottleneck in the full-scale industrial implementation of CCS.
The Paris Climate Agreement has further reinforced the importance of this topic. In addition to the energy sector, the industrial sector—where CO₂ emissions are an inherent part of the production process (e.g., cement plants, steelworks, paper mills, refineries, etc.)—will also be required to contribute to emissions reduction.
Geoinženiring is participating in the project as part of the CO₂GeoNet association, which plays a leading role in Europe in the field of geological CO₂ storage.
