Closing Ceremony
BALTIC CARBON FORUM 2021
The BALTIC CARBON FORUM 2021 was held on October 15.
Critical factors in advancing the CC(U)S technologies are adequate policy drivers and incentives and the
availability of finance. Although the relevant decision-making rests primarily with national governments
and the private sector, international collaboration can help to strengthen both of these critical factors.
The aim of the BCF 2021 is to strengthen the Nordic-Baltic cooperation on CC(U)S by bringing experts
and stakeholders from the entire region and the whole value chain of the CC(U)S technology together to
exchange information and experiences on ongoing projects and activities in the Nordic-Baltic region and
to create the possibilities for future operations and projects.
The program can be downloaded here and an introduction to the speakers can be downloaded here.
