Aker Carbon Capture, Aker Solutions sign FEED contract for Oslo CCS project

Aker Carbon Capture and Aker Solutions have signed a FEED contract with Hafslund Oslo Celsio (Celsio) to develop carbon capture at the waste-to-energy facility at Klemetsrud in Oslo, Aker Carbon Capture said on December 4.

The FEED contract follows Celsio's cost reduction initiative for the Oslo CCS project and will be delivered based on Aker Carbon Capture's Just Catch 400 unit, with a design capacity to capture up to 400,000 tonnes/year of CO2.

Celsio's CCS project is part of Longship, the full CCS value chain development. Longship will also include CO2 from another hard-to-abate sector, Heidelberg Materials' cement plant in Brevik, where the carbon capture plant is delivered by Aker Carbon Capture and Aker Solutions.

Should Celsio move forward with the CCS project, Aker Carbon Capture could be delivering three out of the four projects currently being planned to deliver CO2 to Northern Lights storage.

Celsio's waste-to-energy facility at Klemetsrud is the largest carbon emitter in Oslo and is responsible for 17% of the capital's fossil carbon emissions. The facility treats household waste, and waste from industry and enterprises. The waste treated at the facility consists of approximately 50 % biogenic CO2, enabling the delivery of negative emissions.

Aker Carbon Capture said it is in the final stages of delivering Just Catch 100 at the Twence waste-to-energy facility in the Netherlands.
