New plans to drive carbon capture industry forward

Stuart Mitchell

A call for evidence launched recently to explore new ways to transport captured CO2 that would enable more UK industries to adopt carbon capture technology. Millions of tonnes of captured carbon dioxide (CO2) could be transported via road, rail, barge or ship, revolutionising the way it reaches offshore storage sites, helping more businesses cut emissions.    On 7 May the government launched a call for evidence for innovative new options for transporting CO2, on top of the existing network of pipelines, supporting industry on the path to net zero.   …

enfinium announces proposal for £200m investment in carbon capture project in North Wales

Stuart Mitchell

enfinium, a leading UK energy from waste operator, announces it is progressing plans to invest around £200 million in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology at the Parc Adfer energy from waste facility in Deeside, North Wales, providing vital carbon removals and boosting the green economy. The project could capture up to 235,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year. As over half of the waste processed at the facility is organic, installing CCS would enable the plant to take more CO2 out of the atmosphere than it produces. The…

Ørsted begins construction of Denmark’s first carbon capture project

Stuart Mitchell

Ørsted is embarking on the construction of two carbon capture (CCS) facilities designed to capture and store carbon emissions from the woodchip-fired Asnæs Power Station in Kalundborg and the straw-fired unit at Avedøre Power Station in Greater Copenhagen. This project represents Denmark’s first full-scale carbon capture project and signals the dawn of a new era for carbon capture and storage in the country. It is expected that the carbon capture project, which was awarded a 20-year contract by the Danish Energy Agency in May 2023, will capture 430,000 tonnes of biogenic…

Drax submits plans to build world’s largest carbon capture and storage project

Stuart Mitchell

Renewable energy company Drax has submitted plans to build the world’s largest carbon capture facility at its North Yorkshire power station. The company plans to invest £2bn in the 2020s in its plans to develop two bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) units, creating and supporting thousands of jobs in the North and enabling the UK to lead the world in a vital new technology needed to address the climate crisis. Work to build BECCS at Drax could start as soon as 2024 and once operational the two units…
