Aker Carbon Capture awarded pre-FEED from Statkraft in Norway

In Norway, Aker Carbon Capture said it has been awarded a pre-FEED for Statkraft’s Heimdal waste-to-energy plant for capturing 220.000 tons of CO2 per year. 

The pre-FEED covers CO2 capture, compression, purification, liquefaction, and temporary storage of CO2 at the Heimdal waste-to-energy plant. From Heimdal, the liquid CO2 will be transported by truck to an export terminal with subsequent ship transport to permanent storage, the company said.

“We are excited to extend our collaboration with Statkraft. The decarbonization of the waste-to-energy industry is crucial in achieving Norway’s ambitious climate goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030”, said Jon Christopher Knudsen, Chief Commercial Officer at Aker Carbon Capture. “By leveraging our product portfolio and ongoing projects, we maintain a robust position within the waste-to-energy sector” Knudsen continued.

In 2023, Aker Carbon Capture was awarded a full FEED by Hafslund Oslo Celsio, the largest supplier of district heating in Norway, to develop carbon capture at their waste-to-energy facility at Klemetsrud in Oslo, Norway.
