Session 2: Why have you elected to be one of the early movers?
What drives companies to take the lead in implementing carbon capture solutions? This session will focus on the motivations, challenges, and opportunities key emitters face, such as energy “producers”, cement manufacturers, heavy industry players and the maritime sector. Early movers will share their experiences, highlighting the risks and rewards of adopting carbon capture technologies and addressing whether being a frontrunner could lead to a competitive edge—or disadvantage.
- Anne Jorunn Møkster, CEO, Simon Møkster Rederi
- Jarle Skjæveland, Co-Founder, GreenCap Solutions
Session 3: Barriers to CCS Implementation - Leap of Faith or "Show me the money"
This session explores the barriers hindering the widespread adoption of CCS technologies. From financial constraints to policy uncertainties, speakers will address the risks involved and explore how to make CCS bankable.
