is to contribute to the ambitious targets in the Climate agreement in the Norwegian parliament in February 2008. Hence, provide additionality  through promoting CCS.

The BIGCCS Centre will enable sustainable power generation from fossil fuels based on cost-effective CO₂ capture, and safe transport and underground storage of CO₂.

This will be achieved by building expertise and closing critical knowledge gaps of the CO₂ chain, and developing novel technologies in an extensive collaborative research effort.
