- The project aims to capture all CO2 from flue gases at the Mustasaari waste-to-energy plant.
- The captured CO2 will be liquefied and used to produce carbon-neutral synthetic e-fuels.
- The final investment decision is expected in early 2025.
- ANDRITZ also provided the FEED for the green hydrogen plant in Kristinestad.
Project Overview
ANDRITZ has been selected to perform the front-end engineering design (FEED) for a large-scale carbon capture unit at Westenergy’s waste-to-energy plant in Mustasaari, Finland. This initiative aims to capture all the carbon dioxide from the plant's flue gases, which are produced from sorted, non-recyclable municipal waste.
Decarbonization and Circular Economy
The captured carbon dioxide will be liquefied, with a significant portion used to produce carbon-neutral synthetic e-fuels. This project is expected to contribute substantially to decarbonization and the circular economy.
Project Partners
The order was placed by ECCU Ltd, a joint venture of Westenergy Ltd, CPC Finland Oy, and funds managed by Prime Capital AG. ANDRITZ will refine the carbon capture plant concept and prepare the design documentation, which will serve as the basis for the joint venture’s final investment decision.
Timeline and Future Plans
The joint venture plans to make a final investment decision in early 2025. The captured carbon dioxide from Westenergy's plant will be supplied to a power-to-x plant planned in Kristinestad, Finland, to produce synthetic e-fuel from green hydrogen and carbon dioxide. ANDRITZ also provided the FEED for the green hydrogen plant for the Kristinestad project.
