Carbon Centric Launches First CO₂ Capture Plant in Rakkestad
- The Rakkestad plant captures 10,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually from waste incineration.
- The plant is being certified by DNV for FSSC 22 000 compliance.
- A BECCS project at Kirkenær aims to capture 32,000 tonnes of biogenic CO₂ annually by 2028.
- Carbon Centric plans to reach 1 million tonnes CO₂ capture capacity by 2030.
Rakkestad Plant Launch
The Rakkestad facility has commenced operations, marking Norway's first operational carbon capture plant outside the Longship project. It captures CO₂ from a waste-to-energy incineration plant, producing food-grade liquid CO₂.
Certification and Capacity
The plant is undergoing certification by DNV to meet FSSC 22 000 standards. It has a capture capacity of approximately 10,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, handling flue gas from the incinerator at full scale.
Future Projects
Carbon Centric is developing additional projects, including a BECCS project at Kirkenær with Solør Bioenergi, targeting 32,000 tonnes of biogenic CO₂ capture annually. This project aims to produce carbon dioxide removal certificates by 2028.
Strategic Goals
Carbon Centric aims to expand its CO₂ capture capacity to 1 million tonnes annually by 2030, establishing itself as a key player in the European CCUS sector.
