@eudebates_live: CCS Was “Science Fiction” — Now It Could Store Europe’s CO₂ for Decades! Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre says carbon capture and storage has gone from being dismissed as “science fiction” to becoming a proven industrial technology that could play a massive role in Europe’s climate transition. Speaking at the opening of Yara’s CCS facility in Sluiskil, Støre said Norway — together with the Netherlands — may have enough offshore geological storage capacity to take captured European CO₂ for decades. For Støre, however, CCS is not just about technology. He argues that the solution to Europe’s climate challenge ultimately lies in industry — where labour, capital, technology and energy come together. If the North Sea really can become a vast geological storage hub for European industry, carbon capture could move from a niche climate technology into a major part of Europe’s industrial infrastructure. #JonasGahrStore #CarbonCapture #CCS #ClimateTech #eudebates
