Aker Carbon Capture Awarded Pre-FEED from Statkraft in Norway
Aker Carbon Capture has been awarded a pre-FEED for Statkraft’s Heimdal waste-to-energy plant in Norway, with the aim of capturing 220,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. This collaboration highlights Aker Carbon Capture’s commitment to helping Norway achieve its climate goals by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The pre-FEED includes various steps such as CO2 capture, compression, purification, liquefaction, and temporary storage at the Heimdal waste-to-energy plant. The captured liquid CO2 will then be transported to an export terminal for permanent storage, making it a significant step towards reducing emissions in Trondheim municipality by up to 25%.
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Statkraft and contribute to the decarbonization of the waste-to-energy industry,” said Jon Christopher Knudsen, Chief Commercial Officer at Aker Carbon Capture. The company’s modularized Just Catch 400 unit is designed to capture up to 400,000 tonnes of CO2 per year at the Hafslund Oslo Celsio waste-to-energy facility in Oslo, further demonstrating their commitment to sustainability.
District heating from waste-to-energy plants plays a crucial role in reducing CO2 emissions and meeting Norway’s climate targets. Statkraft’s waste-to-energy plant at Heimdal already provides over 30% of Trondheim municipality’s heating demand, reducing the need for excess electricity and contributing to the country’s journey towards net zero.
Statkraft is part of the ‘CCS Midt-Norge’ industry cluster, focusing on CO2 capture and storage in central Norway. By collaborating with Aker Carbon Capture and other industry partners, Statkraft aims to increase understanding, progress, and potential economies of scale in CCS implementation in the region.
