Danish energy regulators just received two bids for permits to explore CO2 storage locations off the coast. The country opened its first CO2 storage facility in November. This is important, both for establishing places where captured carbon from fossil fuel plants can go (especially as Europe incentivizes CCS through its new Clean Industrial Deal) and for future carbon removal efforts. https://carbonherald.com/totalenergies-mitsui-and-carboncuts-compete-for-co2-storage-permits-in-denmark/

This is pretty cool! Do you know which method(s) DEA is using to store the collected CO2? I see the geo reference, so I assume at least subsurface sequestration. Also are these sinks only for CO2 siphoned from power plants, or will they support other large emitters as well? (i.e., industrial, chemical, etc.)

I'm not sure exactly, but I would imagine it's for other emitters -- most of the most promising CCS projects are for industrial emissions. As for the storage methods, it looks like subsurface sequestration along the lines of what Norway is doing with its Northern Lights CO2 storage project.
