Vattenfall has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Norwegian Aker Carbon Capture to accelerate the evaluation of future carbon capture plants in Sweden and Northern Europe. The agreement will support Vattenfall´s ambitions to achieve negative emissions in waste and bio CCS plants.

Vattenfall has the knowledge and proven experience of several Carbon Capture and Storage (technologies, already tested in a large-scale pilot plant in Germany, and test plants in the Netherlands and in the UK, between 2008-2014. However, CCS has taken many steps forward over the last year, leading to several projects moving forward both on the capture and on the storage side.

The Norwegian full-scale Demonstration Project, Longship CCS with its Northern Lights offshore storage facility, is one example. In addition, Denmark is planning a Greensand storage project, utilizing existing oil platform infrastructure.
The Memorandum of Understanding is non-exclusive and covers services related to advancing Vattenfall´s ambitions related to CCS and has a two-year timeline.
