Construction has begun on one of the largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) facilities in Stockholm, which aims to capture over 800,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, surpassing the city's road emissions. The project, led by Stockholm Exergi, involves a 13 billion kronor investment and innovative technology for separating and storing CO2, supported by EU and Swedish funding. Captured CO2 will be shipped to Norway for permanent underwater storage. The project underscores Stockholm's commitment to significant climate action and is particularly facilitated by the region's favorable geography for shipping and storage.
"This is going to be the largest project of this kind in Europe and one of the largest in the world," said European climate commissioner Wopke Hoekstra.
"The plant will have the capacity to capture and store more than 800,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, exceeding the annual emissions from the Swedish capital's road traffic," said Anders Egelrud, CEO of Stockholm Exergi.
