The Danish Energy Agency postpones the second tender round of CO2 storage licenses in the North Sea
The second tender round for offshore licenses for exploration and use of the subsoil for the geological storage of CO2 in the North Sea is postponed. The tender was set to open on August 15th 2023 according to the executive order on CO2 storage license tenders.
The first tender round of offshore licenses for exploration and use of the subsoil for the geological storage of CO2 in the North Sea was initiated according to the executive order on CO2 storage license tenders, according to which license applications are received annually on August 15th with a deadline for applications on October 1st in the same year.
In line with the Agreement on the framework for CO2 storage in Denmark of 21 June 2022 (Follow-up on the CCS strategy in Denmark) the parties of the agreement were to decide, whether the state participation share of future licenses should be set higher after the first tender round in the North Sea. As a result, the second tender round of offshore licenses is postponed, until this matter has been settled.
