BIGCCS - International CCS Research Centre

Enabling sustainable power generation from fossil fuels based on cost-effektive CO2 capture, and safe transport and underground storage of CO2

Contact person

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

The BIGCCS Centre develops new knowledge and technology required to accelerate deployment of large scale CCS, through international co-operation. Innovation and value creation is promoted throughout the CO2 value chain.

Research areas:

  • CO2 capture – power generation and industry
  • CO2 transport
  • CO2 storage
  • CO2 value chain

BIGCCS was a centre for Environment-friendly Energy Research (FME) and was operational from 2008 to 2016. NCCS is the successor to BIGCCS and runs from 2016 to 2024.
