Denmark – Fortum and Danish district heating operator Fjernvarme Fyn will do a feasibility study together to assess the possibilities of capturing and recycling CO2.
Fjenvarme Fyn serves the city of Odense by providing district heating. The Nyborg Fortum facility not only treats hazardous waste from the area’s many industrial businesses, but it also provides district heating to the town. Odense and Nyborg plants’ CO2 emissions will be studied to see if large-scale CO2 capture is possible. The captured carbon can be recycled into plastics or sustainable fuels for industry, transportation, or shipping when combined with hydrogen.
Project feasibility
By the end of 2022, the feasibility study should show whether or not a large-scale implementation is feasible. A decision can then be made on whether or not to continue the process. The long-term potential is up to 900,000 metric tons, but the goal is to capture 480,000 metric tons of CO2 by 2030. Waste streams in a circular economy must be recycled, recovered, or reused as much as possible in order to achieve this. Various industries can use captured CO2 and hydrogen to create essential building blocks for a wide range of products on their path to carbon neutrality.
