Spring conference tour

After almost a year in commercial operation, Carbon Centric presented operational experience from the Rakkestad carbon capture plant at events in Helsinki (Bio-CO2 Use and Removal 2026 on 5 May), Copenhagen (CO₂ Capture, Storage & Reuse Conference on 20–21 May) and Trondheim (CO₂ Impact Workshop on 4 June).

Presentations and attendees

Project Manager Raymond Forbord spoke in Helsinki after seven months of commercial operation and in Copenhagen alongside DNV and Pentair, focusing on operational carbon capture projects and CO₂ liquefaction. CTO Arne Jakobsen presented lessons learned after nine months of operation at the Trondheim workshop, and Project Engineer Emmy Kristine Rustad also attended.
