Achieving climate targets increasingly depends on scalable carbon removal. This creates both new opportunities and important considerations for industry, investors and policymakers.

Join us for a seminar exploring how carbon removal technologies can support decarbonisation, strengthen investment cases and develop into an investable and commercially relevant market.

Building on our December 2025 event, the programme brings together perspectives from industry, finance and government. It will address key legal, regulatory and commercial aspects of carbon removal, with contributions from stakeholders across the CCS and CDR landscape, followed by a panel discussion on market and policy developments.

The seminar is relevant for project developers, investors, financial institutions, corporates, advisers and policymakers working in, or assessing opportunities within, carbon removal.

Further details and the full programme will be shared in due course. Refreshments and networking will follow after the formal programme.

We look forward to welcoming you in Oslo.
