Danish energy company plans to capture 400,000t/yr of carbon from CHP plant operations in addition to emissions from industrial partners by 2025
Danish energy company Orsted has announced it will develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities at two biomass-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plants in Denmark. The firm says it will be able to capture 400,000t/yr of carbon emissions from the two plants—Asnaes in Kalundborg and Avedore in the Greater Copenhagen area—and potentially store a further 200,000t/yr from industrial partners in the North Sea by as early as 2025. “Our carbon-capture plans are based on our newest CHP plants, which will be in operation for many years to come and which run on sustainable straw and wood chips,” says Ole Thomsen, senior vice-president at Orsted.
