Climate KIC
Summary
In Trondheim, Norway’s third-largest city, that systemic change is being put to the test through a carbon capture and storage project in the city’s existing waste-to-energy facility. The waste-to-energy facility processes residual waste that remains after reuse and recycling, meaning it sits at the end of the consumption chain. By capturing emissions from this stage, the project addresses the climate impact of consumption that can’t be avoided upstream.
By 2030, Trondheim wants to reduce direct greenhouse gas emissions by 80% and compensate for the rest, thereby reaching full climate neutrality. Around a quarter of Trondheim’s current GHG emissions come from the city’s waste-to-energy facility, which handles unsortable waste and provides district heating to buildings across the municipality.
