Case Study 1: EU Innovation Fund
Problem
The client was looking to secure support from European funding for a waste-to-energy project combined with CCS, which is very costly and has ambiguous public support. It was looking to secure co-financing from the EU Innovation Fund.

Solution
Our support resulted in political support among EU policymakers for the client’s CCS project and a co-financing commitment from the Norwegian government to the tune of €300m.
