Aker Carbon Capture supports Danish industry's climate ambitions
Aker Carbon Capture is expanding its presence in the Danish market as the pure
-play carbon capture company is positioning for future growth across several
industries in the country.
"We are delighted to contribute to the Danish climate targets by offering our
mature and proven carbon capture technology, which in cooperation with Danish
industry can enable significant reductions of emissions already before 2025,"
said Henrik Madsen, Chairman of Aker Carbon Capture.
The company has already recruited a handful of carbon capture specialists in
Denmark and have plans for rapid growth to meet the increasing demand from
industry emitters in Denmark and Northern Europe.
Aker Carbon Capture has developed a proprietary and field-proven CCS solution to
enable carbon reductions in hard-to-abate industries such as waste incineration,
bio-energy and other process industries.
"Most industrial emitters recognize that the CCS technology is mature and ready
to be implemented at scale, it is now important to push the creation of further
transport and storage solutions for CO2," says Madsen. Denmark has already
several initiatives underway, including the Greensands project alongside other
large initiatives in the Nordic region. "Working together across the Nordic
region will bring additional benefits, as exemplified by the recent
collaboration between Aker Carbon Capture and Carbfix," said Madsen. Iceland's
Carbfix has developed a solution that turns CO2 into stone in basalt
formations.
"Denmark is key to our international expansion plans, with access to highly
qualified engineers and partners that have made a mark in green growth
industries," said Valborg Lundegaard, CEO of Aker Carbon Capture. "Danish
industry could become a frontrunner in the CCS development by realizing projects
with negative emissions and utilizing new business models such as Carbon Capture
as a Service (CaaS)," said Lundegaard.
Aker Carbon Capture recently launched a CCS service, offering the full value
chain from capture via transport and storage under one pay-per-tonnes solution.
"We have seen great interest from emitters for our novel offering, including
from companies in the Danish market. With a local presence we will be able to
support a range of emitters in Denmark to make use of this unique offering,"
added Lundegaard.
The opening will be attended by ministry and representatives from several
countries including the Norwegian Minister of Trade and Industry. The Danish
office in Hellerup in Copenhagen will be serving Denmark, as well as wider
Scandinavia, the UK and continental Europe with projects and technology.
