The IIP was pleased to host Prof. Carlos Oliveira from the University of Lisbon for a colloquium based on his recent publication, “Investing in Carbon Transportation under Volume Uncertainty and Scaling Flexibility: A Case of Transporting CO₂ to the Norwegian Continental Shelf” (joint work with Sveinung Andersen, Verena Hagspiel, and Jan Magnus Røsbjørgen). The paper and the talk presented an innovative and timely application of real options theory to the challenge of infrastructure investment for carbon transportation and sequestration. The presentation was followed by a lively and engaging discussion.
In the KoRPSA project, regional strategies for carbon management and negative emissions are being developed in Baden-Württemberg to help pave the way to climate neutrality. The policy brief "Carbon Management in Baden-Württemberg – Setting the Course for Climate Neutrality and Industry" has just been published.
