Sirona Technologies has announced Project Furu, a commercial direct air capture and storage (DACCS) plant in Øygarden, Norway. The project is strategically located next to the Northern Lights storage facility and will use the CarbonLink system to transport captured CO2 for permanent seabed storage in the North Sea. The facility will run on Norway's low carbon electricity grid, which is primarily powered by hydropower and wind. Sirona is scaling the project in phases to reduce financial risk and has applied for funding through the EU Innovation Fund to accelerate commercial deployment.

Sirona is starting a new DACCS project in Norway called Project Furu. It sits right next to Northern Lights storage and uses a shared system called CarbonLink to move the CO2. Worth a look if you follow how DAC projects are actually getting connected to storage.

The 90 percent hydro mix in Norway is a huge advantage for the net carbon math here. My question is about the CarbonLink aggregation. How many other small DAC players are plugging into that system, and is the throughput capacity actually verified for the planned scale?

The mention of CRCF regulation is the real story. If these credits become eligible under the EU framework and eventually the ETS, the price floor for DACCS changes completely. It moves from voluntary corporate whims to a regulated compliance market.

True, but the article says credits are available now. I wonder who is buying them before the CRCF framework is fully operational. Are these just forward contracts or is there a current standard they are using to justify the price?

Phased deployment is the only way to survive in this sector. Most of these projects fail because they try to go full scale on day one without proving the energy costs. I want to see the actual power draw per ton of CO2 for Phase 1.
