Popis: Denmark is committed to a 70% reduction of CO2 emissions in 2030, compared to the 1990 level, and to be net-zeroby 2050. A strategy for carbon capture, utilization and storage has been put forward as key enabler to meet theseclimate targets. Denmark has the potential to become a major provider of CO2 transportation and permanent geologicalstorage services in Europe benefiting from underground storage potential from future depleted oil and gas fields andsaline aquifer structures. Besides, the country has existing onshore and offshore facilities (wells, offshore facilities,pipelines) that could be converted for this purpose, a central location for national and European emitters, and a highlyskilled workforce with vast experience in offshore operations.The Bifrost project aims at providing CO2 transportation and permanent geological storage capitalizing on existingfacilities in the Danish North Sea. The Bifrost concept leverages the assets owned by the Danish UndergroundConsortium (‘DUC’, consisting of TotalEnergies, Noreco, and Nordsøfonden) and plans to progressively convertdepleted gas fields starting with the Harald West field with a first phase targeting circa 3 million tons per annum overa 15-year period. The “all-offshore” development concept for this first phase entails the technical qualification of aninnovative floating storage and injection unit for CO2 injection in depleted gas reservoir and associated offshoreoffloading system for ship-to-ship CO2 transfer. Bifrost project aims at de-risking CO2 injection in Harald East chalkreservoir, a potential play opener for storing CO2 in chalk that is the main reservoir type of the oil and gas fields inthe Danish North Sea. Bifrost project will also assess the potential conversion of existing gas pipelines owned andoperated by Ørsted for CO2 transportation to connect onshore to offshore CO2 storage sites. In addition to thetechnological development, Bifrost will investigate monitoring technologies and protocols as well as improveunderstanding of the socio-economic aspects associated with carbon capture and storage technology.This article describes the current work-plan of project Bifrost as carried out with the support of the Danish EnergyTechnology Development and Demonstration Programme (EUDP) by TotalEnergies, on behalf of the DUC partners,Ørsted and DTU, over a two-year period (2022 and 2023).
