Beskrivelse af udbuddet
The aim of the NECCS Fund is to contribute to the realization of Denmark's climate targets as outlined in the Danish Climate Act (Danish: “Klimaloven”).
The NECCS scheme is intended as a multi-technology tender, covering all technologies that can provide negative CO2 emissions obtained through technological capture and permanent geological storage of biogenic or atmospheric CO2. By biogenic CO2, the DEA refers to CO2 created through the combustion, digestion, fermentation, decomposition or processing of non-fossil fuels or feedstock. By atmospheric CO2, the DEA refers to CO2 from the ambient air, not the emissions from energy or industrial plants.
The NECCS Fund is not intended to provide subsidy for the capture and geological storage of CO2 from the combustion or processing of fossil-based fuels or feedstock. Negative emissions based on biochar created through pyrolysis of biomass, as well as other non-technological means of capturing and storing CO2, such as afforestation will also not be applicable for financial support under the NECCS scheme.
The DEA wishes to enter into one or more contract(s) pursuant to which the recipient(s) of the subsidies (each recipient “the Operator”) shall ensure and be responsible for capturing, transportation and permanent, geological storage of biogenic or atmospheric CO2 (“the Contract”).
As described in the tender documents the Operator shall every year from 2026 until (and including) 2032 capture and permanently, geologically store a fixed quantity of biogenic or atmospheric CO2 (“Annual Quantity”). The Operator may also offer to capture and permanently, geologically store CO2 from start of operating until 31 December 2025 (“2025-Quantity”). These quantities are to be specified by the tenderer in the offer. The DEA will award one or more Contract(s) dependent on the available funds based on the received offers.
The subsidy will be paid per tonne of biogenic or atmospheric CO2 captured and permanently stored.
The DEA will notify the fund to the European Commission as an aid scheme in accordance with the procedure prescribed by Article 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the disbursement of the funds is dependent on the European Commission’s prior approval.
The DEA will cancel the tender procedure if the approval from the European Commission is not obtained, or if the European Commission stipulates conditions for the approval which necessitate changes to fundamental elements of the tender documents.

“Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via the electronic tendering system, see the address set out in section I.3)....”
Participation in the tender procedure may only take place by electronic means via the electronic tendering system, see the address set out in section I.3). For access to the tender documents, the tenderer must be registered or register as a user. If the offer contains several versions of the same document, the latest uploaded version will apply. All communication in connection with the tender procedure, including questions and answers, must take place through the electronic tendering system. Reference is made to the tender specifications. The DEA will hold an information meeting, see the tender specifications. If the tenderer encounters problems with the system, contact support on dksupport@eu-supply.com or (+45) 70208014. The tenderer must together with its offer submit an ESPD as preliminary documentation of the circumstances set out in section 148(1), paras 1-3 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. It is not necessary for the tenderer to sign the ESPD document. For groups of economic operators (e.g. a consortium), a separate ESPD must be submitted for each participating operator, and the ESPD must be signed by each operator. The tenderer heading the group and submitting the offer is not required to sign its ESPD document, see “Guide to the ESPD – How to complete in Digitale Udbud”. The tenderer must submit a financial declaration that the tenderer has complied with any and each requirement to repay aid which the European Commission, in a previous decision, has declared illegal and incompatible with the internal market. Furthermore, the tenderer shall declare that the tenderer is not an undertaking in difficulty as defined in point 20 in the Commission Communication on Guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring non-financial undertakings in difficulty (Official Journal of the European Union, C 249, 31.7.2014, p. 1). Finally, the tenderer shall declare that the tenderer has made no firm commitments, for example, to order equipment or start construction, which would make the project irreversible at the time of submission of the tenderer’s offer. The financial declarations are further described in Appendix B, Template for Offer submission letter, and must be submitted with the Offer. As part of the tenderer’s offer the tenderer is obliged to submit a notification/declaration concerning any financial contributions received from third countries, see Article 29 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2560 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 on foreign subsidies distorting the internal market. The tenderer will be excluded from participation in the tender procedure if the tenderer is subject to the compulsory grounds for exclusion set out in sections 134a, 135 and 136 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, and the exclusion grounds stated in the Danish Public Procurement Act, section 137(1), para 2 and para 6, unless the tenderer has submitted sufficient documentation of its reliability in accordance with section 138 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. Before the award decision is made, the tenderer(s) to whom the DEA intends to award the Contract must provide documentation of the information submitted in the ESPD pursuant to sections 151-152, cf. section 153 of the Danish Public Procurement Act. As an alternative to the documentation mentioned in sections 153-155, 157 and 158 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, the tenderer may submit to the DEA a certificate of registration in an official list of approved economic operators, see section 156 of the Danish Public Procurement Act, issued by the competent authority. The DEA only accepts certificates of registration in an official list from tenderers established in the country holding the official list. The DEA may use the procedure of section 159(5) of the Danish Public Procurement Act in the event that applications or tenders do not comply with the requirements of the tender documents. The DEA will pay no remuneration for participation in the tender.

The DEA has decided to extend the deadline for submission of offers from December 1, 2023, to January 15, 2024. The expected contract signing date is postponed from February 29 to March 15, 2024. The postponement occurs partly due to a necessary update of the tender material and partly because the EU Commission's state aid approval for the NECCS fund unexpectedly has not yet been granted.
Given the timeline of the tender procedure, the DEA considered at the time of publication of the tender documents the likelihood of CCS in 2024 to be very limited. The DEA still considers this to be an unrealistic prospect and the DEA has received no indications that there are any market actors capable of achieving capture and storage CO2 already in 2024. It has been decided that the amount of 50,200,000 originally allocated for 2024 shall be removed from the NECCS fund. Accordingly, the total maximum available subsidy of the tender procedure has been adjusted. Further reference is made to the updated tender documents and the information, including Q and A published in the electronic tendering system.
