Nordsøfonden makes a significant contribution to Danish society, as it carries out important tasks ensuring society a fair share of revenues from Danish oil and gas activities, contributing to energy supply security, and supporting the green transition through carbon storage. I look forward to taking on the role, getting to know my future colleagues at Nordsøfonden, and working with Nordsøfonden’s many stakeholders,” says Adrian Lübbert.
About Nordsøfonden
Nordsøfonden is the Danish state's subsurface resource company tasked with generating value for Danish society by optimising the potential of Denmark’s subsurface assets. Nordsøfonden stands on two pillars: We produce oil and gas, thus helping to supplies of energy and raw materials. At the same time, we participate in all licences for underground carbon storage, where we work to ensure reductions of emissions to the atmosphere.
As a consistent player in the work with Danish underground resources, we operate at the intersection where partners, operators and authorities meet. Here, we promote mutual understanding, assess opportunities and pave the way for holistically oriented solutions.
