On 20 September 2023, a majority in the Danish Parliament signed an Agreement on strengthened framework conditions for CCS in Denmark (in Danish: “Aftale om styrkede rammevilkår for CCS i Dan-mark”). The agreement consolidated the second phase of the CCUS fund (s established by the Danish Climate Agreement for Energy and Industry of 22 June 2020) and the GSR fund (as established by the Agreement on green tax reform for industry of 24 June 2022) to one combined fund (the “CCS fund”) that is to be deployed in two tendering rounds. The fund will provide subsidy for a value chain for car-bon capture, transport and storage (“CCS”). The Danish Energy Agency (“the DEA“) is responsible for the deployment of the CCS fund.The first tender for the deployment of the CCS fund is scheduled for publication in June 2024. The overall framework for the CCS fund is set out in the Agreement on strengthened framework conditions for CCS in Denmark of 20 September 2023. The DEA therefore refers to this agreement for further in-formation on the CCS fund. Within the framework as set out in the political agreement the DEA is currently in the process of pre-paring the tender procedure for the first tender for the deployment of the CCS fund, including e.g. the form of tender procedure, the model for awarding one or several contracts, the economy and subsidy scheme etc. Currently, the DEA expects that the tender will be conducted as a negotiated procedure (in Danish: “Udbud med forhandling”). The DEA wishes to invite all interested operators to provide written contributions on selected themes and questions. The market dialogue will provide an opportunity for the market and potential tenderers to contribute to the DEA’s considerations in the preparation of the tender. It is emphasised that all operators who has an interest in the CCS fund (regardless of e.g. which part of the CCS value chain the operator belongs to) are encouraged to submit written contributions to the market dialogue.Before publication of the tender, the DEA will conduct a public consultation concerning the deployment of the CCS fund in accordance with the Commission’s Guidelines on State aid for climate, environmental protection and energy 2022. On the site in Digitale Udbud/EU Supply specified in this notice the DEA has published a note “Invitation to market dialogue – 18 December 2023” containing the DEA’s questions which operators are asked to submit written contributions on. a) On the site specified in this notice (the site in Digitale Udbud/EU Supply) access to the material from the DEA is publicly available for download under “Documents”.b) Written contributions to the DEA should be submitted to the DEA on CCS-puljer@ens.dk .For further information on how to submit written contributions to the DEA please refer to the published note. The deadline for submitting written contributions is 15 January 2024. Input received after this date might not be taken into consideration by the DEA. The written contributions may potentially be elaborated on in writing and/or discussed at dialogue meetings between the operator and the DEA if deemed relevant by the DEA. The DEA may ask a limited number of operators specific additional questions and/or invite a limited number of operators to participate in dialogue meetings regarding additional questions. If the DEA deems it relevant to ask the market additional questions, the DEA expects that such additional questions to the market will be published on the site stated in the prior information notice.
