In line with the aim of becoming a net-zero company OMV Energy will invest in geothermal energy and carbon capture and storage (CCS), leveraging existing assets and capabilities, and contribute to a more sustainable society. Significant funds are going to be invested in the development of those low-carbon business opportunities to achieve the CCS target of 5 mn metric tons per year in 2030.
In order to focus and streamline the activities, a dedicated value center for low carbon business was set up within the Energy division. Currently, the main CCS activities take place in Norway and Romania.
In Norway, OMV was awarded with the first CCS exploration license in Q1 2023 and is working actively towards applying for more licences on the NCS within the coming months.
In Romania, OMV Petrom was initiating the first onshore project in 2021 and sketching a CCS vision for Romania and the Black Sea.
