Statkraft Heimdal Carbon Capture Project

Statkraft is developing a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project to make its Heimdal waste incineration plant in Trondheim, Norway, climate-neutral. The facility currently emits around 240,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year, about one third of which comes from fossil sources, and the project aims to capture these emissions. To advance the initiative, Statkraft has launched preliminary front-end engineering design (pre-FEED) studies. Worley, in partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, is designing an optimized CO₂ capture unit capable of capturing approximately 300,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, focusing on design, safety, environmental considerations, and cost estimates. In parallel, Aker Carbon Capture has also been awarded a pre-FEED contract for similar waste-to-energy CCS facilities, planning a modular capture unit, liquefaction, storage, and loading systems that could capture around 220,000 tonnes of CO₂ each year, with CO₂ transported for permanent offshore storage.
