Danish Government awards Norne Thorning Storage the License to explore the possibility of CO2 storage in Jutland

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, April 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Norne Thorning Storage ApS (“Norne”), a Fidelis New Energy, LLC company, has been awarded the Exploration License for the Thorning structure by the Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Utilities. Norne will soon commence its exploration work program to gather the necessary information about the structure to thoroughly evaluate and confirm its suitability for safe and permanent CO2 storage. If the structure is suitable for storage, this could pave the way for storage before 2030.

Norne will be the operator of the Thorning exploration license working alongside their joint venture partner Nordsøfonden, representing the Danish state. If data acquisition and evaluation confirm that the Thorning geological structure is suitable for safe and permanent storage of CO2, then Norne and Nordsøfonden would then have the exclusive right to apply for a CO2 storage license, which will be subject to the approval of the Danish Energy Agency (“DEA”). In addition to successfully obtaining the CO2 storage license, all relevant environmental permits will be in place and all financial and safety related requirements met before the establishment of any CO2 storage facility.

“The exploration work program has been carefully designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the deep geological structures and their ability to safely and permanently store CO2. Ross, Norne’s Exclusive Subsurface and Wells Partner and their long experience with the subsoil of Denmark has been instrumental in planning the work program, which includes extensive seismic sensors aerial surveys with minimal environmental impacts, extensive 3D seismic surveys, and exploration and appraisal wells,” said Lars Bo Christiansen, President of Norne Climate Impact.

The award of the Thorning exploration license is a major milestone for Norne. Norne has been sponsored by Fidelis New Energy, LLC since 2021 and was chosen as an EU Project of Common Interest (“PCI”) by the European Commission in 2023. Adding the Thorning structure to Norne will bring Denmark and the EU one step closer towards its decarbonization goals with the potential to offer important hard-to-abate industries an integrated solution to reduce their CO2 emissions.

“We look forward to working alongside the DEA and collaborating with Nordsøfonden to explore the CO2 storage potential of the Danish subsoil, with the hope of establishing Thorning as a safe site for CO2 storage,” said Bengt Järlsjö, Co-Founder and President of Fidelis New Energy. “This license award highlights Denmark’s leadership in decarbonization once again, aiding both Danish and European industries in their pursuit of significant carbon emission reductions. Since 2021, we have engaged actively with the Danish government, local authorities, Port of Aalborg, and industry partners throughout Denmark and Europe. Our vision has consistently centered on promoting effective and safe onshore carbon capture and storage policies, while creating efficient and cost-effective CO2 infrastructure solutions for Denmark and Europe.”

Exploration and potential development of geological storage of CO2 is important for Denmark to achieve its carbon reduction targets for 2030 and beyond. Norne’s long and engaging discussions with Danish and EU industry players that need CO2 storage to decarbonize has enabled a concept where costs and environmental impact of Danish CO2 reductions can be significantly reduced as facilities are utilized by both Danish and EU emitters. Norne enables multiple modes of delivery of CO2 to Thorning. A CO2 receiving terminal at the Port of Aalborg will make it possible to receive CO2 from Danish, Baltic and European CO2 emitters.

About Norne:
Norne, also referred to as the Norne Carbon Storage Hub, consists of CO2 receiving facilities, pipelines, and storage facilities designed for safe and permanent storage of both biogenic CO2 and CO2 from hard- to-abate industries such as cement plants. Norne aims to receive and store CO2 from Danish and European industries that have no alternatives other than carbon capture and storage to reduce their carbon emissions.

TrendAI™ Adopts Claude Opus 5 to Advance Vulnerability Prioritization and Virtual Patching

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, TrendAI applies frontier reasoning to convert vulnerability intelligence into faster protection across hybrid environments

DALLAS, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TrendAI™, the enterprise AI security leader from Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), today announced it is adopting Claude Opus 5, Anthropic’s latest and most capable Opus model, to help security teams convert vulnerability intelligence into immediate protection, from prioritization to virtual patching. The move builds on TrendAI’s collaboration with Anthropic on Claude Opus 4.8, extending the same defensive focus to a model that delivers step-change gains in advanced reasoning, agentic workflows, and long-horizon analysis. As AI makes finding vulnerabilities easier than ever, the harder problem becomes protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and that is where TrendAI is putting Opus 5 to work.

As a participant in Anthropic’s Cyber Verification Program, which credentials organizations for the defensive use of frontier AI models, TrendAI is positioned to apply Claude Opus 5 to defensive security as access becomes available. The model is Zero Data Retention compatible, supporting TrendAI’s governance and data-protection requirements as it scales AI across security operations.

The work extends to TrendAI Threat Research, where frontier AI models are combined with our proprietary frontier intelligence engine and human expertise to generate pre-disclosure intelligence. Those insights power TrendAI Vision One™, delivering stronger detection, deeper forensic insights, and proactive protection through virtual patching.

Rachel Jin, Chief Platform and Business Officer, Head of TrendAI™:
“With Claude Opus 5, TrendAI can move from vulnerability intelligence to action faster than ever, prioritizing what matters most by exploitability and business impact. Finding the vulnerability was always the hard part. Now the challenge is protecting organizations faster than software can be permanently patched, and frontier reasoning is what changes that equation, extending all the way to virtual patching that protects customers before a vendor fix ships. This is what it means to secure the AI age, fearlessly.”

These capabilities support TrendAI Vision One™ in helping security analysts, AppSec teams, and SOC teams prioritize exposure, map attack paths, and accelerate mitigation, including virtual patching, across hybrid environments, moving vulnerability management from a static scanning process into a faster, context-aware risk mitigation workflow.

About TrendAI™
TrendAI™, the global AI security leader and enterprise business unit of Trend Micro, empowers organizations with full AI visibility and consolidated security that inspires confidence, drives innovation, and eliminates risk. Trusted by the largest enterprises and governments across 185 countries, TrendAI™ secures the entire organization, from identities, to infrastructure, to data.
