CLIMIT Demo

CLIMIT-Demo is the demonstration funding strand of CLIMIT, described on its own pages as a national programme: "CLIMIT er et nasjonalt program som i mer enn 20 år har gitt økonomisk støtte" ("CLIMIT is a national programme that for more than 20 years has provided financial support"). CLIMIT-Demo is administered by Gassnova SF. On the CLIMIT support-schemes overview page (climit.no/stotteordninger), the strand is summarised as "Støtte til utvikling og demonstrasjon av CCS-teknologier" ("Support for the development and demonstration of CCS technologies").

The dedicated application page (climit.no/soknad-til-climit-demo/) states that CLIMIT-Demo supports projects that develop CO2-handling technology, covering three eligible project types: feasibility studies, demonstrations, and development projects. Projects must align with CLIMIT's strategy and programme plan. Eligible applicants are listed verbatim as "Bedrifter, forskningsinstitusjoner, universitet og høyskoler" ("companies, research institutions, universities and colleges").

Application timing is rolling. The page states "CLIMIT-Demo har ingen søknadsfrister og søknader behandles fortløpende" ("CLIMIT-Demo has no application deadlines and applications are processed continuously"), and the overview page repeats this as "Åpen utlysning, søknader behandles fortløpende" ("Open call, applications processed continuously"). Processing typically takes a couple of months after formal receipt.

To apply, the page directs prospective applicants to first contact Kristian Stangvik before starting, then to download and complete the required documents (a project application in Word and a budget template in Excel), and to submit the application by email. The contact person is given as Kristian Stangvik, ks@gassnova.no, +47 41 56 48 98. The submission address is postmottak@gassnova.no, which is also noted for confidential submissions requiring secure transfer.

Applications are reviewed by experts in the CLIMIT secretariat, who provide recommendations; decision authority is delegated to Gassnova's Managing Director and the CLIMIT secretariat leader within set limits, with the board involved for larger matters. The page references governing documents ("Styrende dokumenter") at climit.no/styrende-dokumenter/.

No funding amounts, maximum grant, funding rate, or total budget are stated on the CLIMIT-Demo application page, so those fields are left null. No literal scheme code is printed on the page.
