N1 - Funding Information: This work was funded by the Research Council of Norway via grants 326410 ( CaptureX - Socio-technical drivers, opportunities and challenges for large-scale CCUS ), 29605 (F ME NTRANS \u2013 Norwegian Centre for Energy Transition Strategies ) and 295021 (INTRANSIT \u2013 Innovation Policy for Industrial Transformation, Sustainability and Digitalization). We thank the interviewees and the advisory committee of CaptureX for their insights. Funding Information: Figure 4 shows the distribution of funding for R&D, as indicated by scientific publications. In Norway, the CLIMIT program is a key source of R&D financing, with the Research Council of Norway funding basic research (CLIMIT R&D), and Gassnova funding more applied research and demonstration projects (CLIMIT demo). Over the 2005-2022 period CLIMIT supported R&D and demonstration projects with an accumulated (approx.) NOK 2.7 billion. Some of the funding from CLIMIT is also channelled to international R&D collaboration in the ACT-program (Accelerating CCS Technologies). Additional R&D funding is further provided through the Norwegian FME research centre scheme, which has so far funded three large-scale research centres on CCS ( Nj\u00F8s et al., 2020 ), and the European CCUS Research Infrastructure (ECCSEL). Such funding of also international R&D collaboration is not seen to be happening elsewhere in Europe to the same degree.

N2 - CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) is today seen as a key technology to cut carbon emissions in many hard-to-abate sectors such as energy-intensive processing industries and the waste sector. Although CO2 capture is technically possible, key challenges for realizing CCS persist. Over the past decade, CCS has taken a new direction with more focus on application in energy-intensive industries rather than the energy sector. For CCS value chains to materialize, innovation and implementation thus needs to occur amongst an array of actors, with different innovation modes, institutions, and policy regimes, and with varying sectoral capacities for adaptation and change. There has so far been limited social science research on CCS innovation dynamics, which we suggest approaching as a socio-technical change process. To better understand this process, we draw on the sustainability transitions research field and employ the Technological Innovation System (TIS) framework to study the CCS innovation system in Norway. We find that, overall, the Norwegian CCS TIS displays systemic weaknesses for example in the form of market formation and resource mobilization, yet recent developments suggest a relatively positive momentum for this technological field which is key to meeting Norwegian and global climate mitigation targets.
