Summary
Ørsted has begun construction of two carbon capture (CCS) facilities designed to capture and store carbon emissions from two combined heat and power plants.
The first is the woodchip-fired Asnæs Power Station in Kalundborg and the second is the straw-fired unit at Avedøre Power Station in Greater Copenhagen.
According to Ørsted, this project represents Denmark’s first full-scale carbon capture project and signals a new era for carbon capture and storage in the country.
It is expected that the carbon capture project, which was awarded a 20-year contract by the Danish Energy Agency in May 2023, will capture 430,000 tonnes of biogenic CO2 annually from the two combined heat and power plants starting from early 2026.
