CO2 in 5 minutes
What is CO2? Why is it so important to reduce CO2 emissions? Learn all the basics of CO2 from our factsheet in 5 minutes. Read more.
CO2 capture and storage
CO2 emissions can be reduced significantly if CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) is implemented globally. CCS is the process where CO2 is cleaned from large point sources, followed by transport of the CO2 to a safe underground storage location where CO2 is injected for long term safe storage. Read more.
CO2 capture
Capture of CO2 is the name of the process where CO2 is separated from flue gas. There are several technologies for capture, or cleaning, of CO2. Read more.
CO2 storage
Safe storage in suitable geological formation under the ground is possible. By careful characterization and selection of possible storage locations it is possible to store CO2 without leakages. Read more.
CO2 storage in the Utsira formation
CO2 has been stored underground in the Utsira formation in the North Sea for ten years without leakages. Read more.
ZEP
Bellona participates in the European Technology Platform for Zero Emission Fossil Fuel Power Plants (ZEP). This is Bellona’s main CCS project, and we regard this project as a very important tool to establish a wide deployment of CCS projects. Read more.
CDM
Bellona has suggested that CCS should be part of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which is a mechanism in the Kyoto Protocol to ensure reduction in global CO2 emissions. But how does CDM works? Read more.

Recent attacks on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant "mark the beginning of a new and gravely dangerous front of the war," the UN atomic agency's director general said last week.
After years of inaction, Germany is working on its Carbon Management Strategy to resolve how CCS can play a role in climate action in industry. At the end of February, the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action published first key points and a proposal to amend the law Kohlenstoffdioxid Speicherungsgesetz (KSpG). Bellona Deutschland, who was actively involved in the previous stakeholder dialogue submitted a statement in the association hearing.
In the midst of a global discussion on whether natural gas should be used as a transitional fuel and whether emissions from its extraction, production, transport and use are significantly less than those from other fossil fuels, Russia has developed ambitious plans to increase its own production of liquified natural gas (LNG) in the Arctic – a region with 75% of proven gas reserves in Russia – to raise its share in the international gas trade.
