Norway, June 17 -- DNV has released a new service specification (DNV-SE-0696) for the verification and certification of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) facilities. The document provides a structured methodology to de-risk CCUS projects across design, construction, and operation-addressing a key industry need as carbon capture scales globally. With CCS projected to grow from 41 MtCO2/yr today to 1,300 MtCO2/yr in 2050, mitigating 6% of global CO? emissions according to DNV's Energy Transition Outlook: CCS to 2050 report, standardized verification is critical to ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and investor confidence. SE-0696 fills this gap by: Defining risk-based verification levels (High/Medium/Low) for CCUS subsystems...
