A Norwegian company that removes harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the atmosphere has received NOK 36.3m ($3.5m) in governmental backing to develop an industrial-scale pilot.
Obtained via an innovation grant from the Norwegian governmental body Enova, the backing will fund what will be the first-ever direct air capture (DAC) pilot at Norway’s Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM).
