Can carbon dioxide be stored in sedimentary rocks in Sweden?

Conditions for carbon dioxide storage in sedimentary rocks in Sweden mainly exist in south-western Skåne and the southern Baltic Sea. A research project is currently examining the possibilities for storing carbon dioxide in fissure-rich crystalline bedrock.

How can we reduce the risk of carbon dioxide storage in Sweden?

To reduce the risks, it is important for there to be continuous monitoring of how the stored carbon dioxide behaves in storage. Since 1 March 2014, the geological storage of carbon dioxide has been permitted in Sweden, and SGU is the supervisory agency.

What does the Swedish Energy Agency do?
