The CTS project (CO2 Transport and Storage directly from a ship: flexible and cost-effective solutions for European offshore storage) funded by the Clean Energy Transition Partnership under the 2022 CETPartnership joint call for research proposals, co-funded by the European Commission (GA N°101069750) was officially started on 1.12.2023.

The CTS project is funded for two years, coordinated by NORCE and includes three ENeRG partners – GeoEcomar, SHOGenergy and Geothermal Ukraine. The project was started by Kick-off-meeting in Brussels in February 2024 and had the project meeting and webinar in Vilnius on the 1-2 October 2024 as a side event to BCF2024. A number of the CTS project partners also participated in the BCF 2024 (picture).

The project aims to estimate the new technology’s economic advantages through techno-economic modelling of CCUS scenarios with CO2 injection into the storage sites in the four offshore regions (North Sea, Baltic Sea, Black Sea and North Atlantic).

The project is funded by national authorities from Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Romania and Portugal.
