Denmark – Aker Carbon Capture has been selected to conduct a test campaign and feasibility study at Fortum Waste Solutions’ Nyborg, Denmark facility.
The safe destruction of hazardous waste and conversion of it into electricity is a specialty of Fortum’s waste incineration facility. The anticipated CO2 capture capacity is 170,000 tonnes per year.
An innovative modular carbon capture system is now being installed by Aker Carbon Capture at Twence’s waste-to-energy complex in Hengelo, the Netherlands. The business will use the project’s lessons learned to the Fortum decarbonization study.
Test campaign
The project will include a test campaign run by the mobile test unit of Aker Carbon Capture. The outcomes of this test campaign can be applied to a sizable carbon capture facility.
Denmark wants to attain climate neutrality by 2050 and a decrease of greenhouse gas emissions of 70% from 1990 levels by 2030. A way to dramatically cut emissions from businesses that are difficult to regulate, such cement, waste incineration, bioenergy, and other process industries, is through carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).
