ACCSESS Open Oslo Event – CCS as a key to unlocking urban carbon neutrality

On behalf of the ACCSESS project, Hafslund Oslo Celsio and SINTEF welcomes European policy makers and representatives from cities and industries to Oslo for an open event. Join us for a conversation about the challenges and opportunities associated with curbing industrial CO2 emissions, and how they relate to climate adaptation and mitigation plans for European cities.

You do not need to have any prior knowledge of or plans for CO2 capture and storage (CCS) to attend. Participation is free of charge. 

When: 22 September 2022, 09:00-17:30 

Where: the Delegation of the European Union to Norway (Klingenberggaten 7A, 0101 Oslo) and online
