Idea study scheme
The aim of the scheme is to help accelerate innovation in carbon capture and storage (CCS) by supporting early-stage idea development.
About the Scheme
New technology concepts are expected to offer significant potential for cost reductions. Realising this potential requires targeted efforts throughout the development process, from research to pilot testing. Several technologies at low technology readiness levels have the potential to reduce costs through, for example, process simplification or integration, reduced equipment size and a lower environmental footprint.
Funding of up to NOK 200,000 is available for projects involving activities such as technical calculations and cost estimates. Projects must provide a basis for decisions on further development and, where relevant, the necessary documentation for a standard CLIMIT funding application. Applications will fall under the category of feasibility studies as defined by the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA). Small, medium-sized and large enterprises may receive funding covering up to 70%, 60% and 50% of eligible costs, respectively. Applications will be assessed by the CLIMIT Secretariat under strict confidentiality.
Application Evaluation Criteria
- The technology’s/method’s potential for cost reduction
- HMS-forbedring og industriell implementering
- Improvements in Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) and Industrial Implementation
- Alignment with the CLIMIT Programme Plan and the CLIMIT-Demo regulations
