National Centre for CCS
If Sweden is to be able to meet its climate goals by 2045 and thereafter achieve negative emissions, extensive emission reductions are required. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an essential climate tool to reach these targets.
The Swedish Energy Agency has been tasked with being the National Centre for CCS in Sweden. This entails planning, coordination and promotion of CCS throughout the country. The Swedish Energy Agency will carry out its work in dialogue with industries, governmental authorities and the Government Offices of Sweden.
The implementation of CCS is no longer a question of yes or no, but of how and when. Getting CCS in place is a prerequisite for us to meet our climate commitments and the Paris Agreement’s temperature target.
