Linde Engineering will build a 200,000 tonne per year CO2 capture plant at Öresundskraft's Filbornaverket waste-to-energy facility in Helsingborg, Sweden. The project reached final investment decision in September with a budget of SEK 2.4bn ($242m), and construction is set to begin later this year with the plant online by 2029. The plant will use BASF's OASE blue capture technology and Linde's purification and liquefaction systems. Up to 45% of the captured CO2 is biogenic, which makes part of the volume a permanent carbon removal rather than just an avoided fossil emission. Captured CO2 will be shipped to Norway's Northern Lights storage project, and recovered process heat will supply about 20MW to Helsingborg's district heating network. Funding includes around SEK 830m ($83.8m) from the EU Innovation Fund and the Swedish Energy Agency. The project arrives as the EU plans to bring municipal waste incineration into its Emissions Trading System between 2031 and 2034, which could push more waste-to-energy operators toward carbon capture.
