A key part of
Denmark's green transition
Recent years have seen the conclusion of several political agreements in the CCS area and the adoption of new legislation which has created a better framework for the expansion of CO2 capture and storage in Denmark.
The Danish Energy Agency is currently in the process of designing subsidy pools that will support the development of CCS technologies and establish the CCS value chain, to support excellent conditions for CCS in Denmark.
Annual capture of
360,000 tons of CO2
The project will capture and permanently store 360,000 tons of CO2. This will generate 240,000 tons of CDRs annually by capturing biogenic CO2 from the combustion of (predominantly locally sourced) biomass and the biogenic fraction of the residual waste.
This will yield high-quality carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits. Based on historical data, the average biogenic level of approx. 75% would result in approx. 90,000 tons of CO2 reductions annually, greatly improving an otherwise hard-to-abate source of CO2 from the fossil fraction of the incinerated residual waste, reducing the climate footprint of waste recovery and district heating supply in Aarhus.
These reductions will reduce Kredsløb’s costs for EU carbon emission allowances (EUAs) and national CO2 taxes.
