Sirona’s Furu Is Now The First DACCS Project Backed By The EU Innovation Fund

The EU Innovation Fund has awarded Sirona Technologies with a grant of up to €9.1 million ($10.2 million) for its Project Furu in Norway, focused on direct air capture and carbon storage (DACCS). 

This groundbreaking decision marks the first-ever DACCS grant released by the EU Innovation Fund. Project Furu is part of a selection of 77 projects that will receive a portion of financial support from a pool totalling €3.4 billion ($3.8 billion) that will be disbursed across 23 countries of the European Economic Area. 

From the 358 projects that applied for the EU funding call, announced back in December 2025, Project Furu is one of 16 pilot-level initiatives selected. 

Announcing the results, Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero and Clean Growth Wopke Hoekstra said, “These projects show that Europe’s innovators are turning climate ambition into industrial leadership.” 

Deployed at CCB Energy’s Energy Park in Øygarden, Furu will utilize the financial injection for the advancement of its operations that will capture atmospheric CO2 and store it under the North Sea via the Northern Lights infrastructure.

Sirona Technologies builds its DAC machines at its production line in Brussels. The systems are then shipped to the Energy Park in Øygarden, where CCB Energy partners with the Øygarden municipality and Vestland County to offer an industrial park with the land, utilities and shared CO2 infrastructure needed for projects such as Furu.

At this site, the project will collaborate with the onshore CO2 terminal CarbonLink to deliver the captured CO2 to Northern Lights, which will then store the carbon dioxide permanently at a depth of about 2,600 metres below the North Sea seabed.
