Act No. 1647 on CO₂ capture activities in the utilities sector.

This Act regulates CO₂ capture activities in Denmark’s utilities sector, specifically at collective heat-supply plants and electricity-production plants using combustion processes. It defines CO₂ capture broadly to include capture, purification, compression, associated pipelines, temporary storage, transport, storage/use contracts, financing mechanisms such as climate credits, and related commercial arrangements. The Act sets rules on how municipalities and private companies may participate in CO₂ capture activities, including requirements for commercial terms, corporate/accounting separation from heat and water-sector activities, municipal guarantees, capital injections, and financial obligations. It also regulates the treatment of state support and surplus free CO₂ allowances, municipal reporting and set-off rules, pipelines and temporary storage, supervision by the Danish Utility Regulator and the Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities, access to information and premises, administrative appeals to the Energy Complaints Board, court actions, penalties, and digital communication.
