There is enormous climate potential in the agreement, which seven companies have just signed on the transport and storage of biogenic CO2 in North Jutland. The partners will initially transport retained CO2 from local biogas plants to the port of Hirtshals, from where it is shipped out for storage in empty oil fields in the North Sea.

The expansion of the Port of Hirtshals has moved one step closer following the city council's decision that the Municipality of Hjørring will carry out a pre-debate and host a public meeting on the big port project. Managing director Per Holm Nørgaard looks forward to the debate.

The curve is broken and is now moving in the right direction for the Port of Hirtshals as the numbers of passengers and cars passing through the port hit record highs in July 2022. More than 190,000 cars and around 630,000 passengers used the port which is considerable progress. This suggests that the pent-up desire to travel from the last couple of years has finally been released, the director of the port, Per Holm Nørgaard, explains.
