CLIMIT is the national program for research, development, and demonstration of CO₂‑management technology. It covers the entire chain from long‑term, competence‑building basic research to projects that demonstrate CO₂‑management technologies.

The program is administered by Gassnova in cooperation with the Research Council of Norway. Responsibilities are divided so that the Research Council is responsible for research projects, while Gassnova is responsible for prototype and demonstration projects.

The project portfolio is directed toward technological solutions for cost‑effective and safe capture, transport, and storage of CO₂. The Ministry of Energy established CLIMIT in 2005 to support the development of CO₂‑management technology for gas‑fired power plants. In 2008, the support scheme was expanded to include power production based on all fossil fuels, and in 2010 industrial emissions were also included. Since 2021, the scheme has included support for capture from all possible CO₂ sources.

Significant technological development has taken place through projects funded by the CLIMIT program, and substantial expertise has been built up in Norway, both within research communities and among industrial partners. CLIMIT emphasizes fostering innovative projects and enabling future industrialization and value creation in Norwegian industry.
