The Novo Nordisk Foundation CO2 Research Center is an international interdisciplinary mission-driven research center
CORC is established as a distributed, international research center, organized through a hub-and-satellite model.
The main hub is located at Aarhus University and is supported by satellite research groups at partner institutions in Denmark and internationally.
This structure was deliberately chosen to combine strong institutional anchoring with the ability to connect leading experts across disciplines and geographies in pursuit of the CORC mission.
Our mission is to accelerate climate change mitigation by pioneering breakthrough technologies for carbon capture, sequestration, and utilization.
CORC's partner institutions and researchers are based at University of Copenhagen, Technical University of Denmark, Stanford University, Caltech, Rice University, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Potsdam Institute for Climate Research Impact, Heriot Watt University, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and Politecnico di Milano.
The CO2 research center pursues distinctively collaborative approaches between different sciences. The center connects university‐based research with open‐science platforms for innovation with industry partners. The activities focus on the full value chain and bringing together world‐leading research in capture technologies, chemical CO2-conversion, and life sciences CO2-conversion.
