Amagervaerket BECCS

The Elimini BECCS project is an early-stage effort to evaluate installing bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS) at a district heat and power plant operated by HOFOR in Copenhagen, Denmark. The study, supported by Elimini and HOFOR, looked at capturing CO₂ from the plant’s biomass combustion flue gas, conditioning it for transport, and injecting it into suitable geological storage to achieve net-negative emissions by combining bioenergy with permanent CO₂ removal. The technical review focused on capture technology options, integration with existing heat-power infrastructure, and potential CO₂ transport and storage pathways. As of the latest updates, Elimini’s BioCapture Copenhagen initiative did not proceed to submitting a formal development bid to Denmark’s energy authority (DEA), and there is no final investment decision or confirmed capture facility at this time. The work remains a feasibility exploration rather than a funded construction project, with details on capacity, technology licensor, and storage route yet to be defined should the initiative move forward.
