What’s better than reducing carbon emissions? How about negative emissions. With the Ørsted Kalundborg CO2 Hub, we aim to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Having been granted a 20-year contract by the Danish Energy Agency, the project will begin to capture 430,000 tonnes of biogenic CO2 annually from our wood chip- and straw-fired combined heat and power plants at Asnæs and Avedøre from 2026. The carbon dioxide will then be shipped to Norway and stored in a reservoir in the North Sea. The impact? Think of the annual carbon emissions from 200,000 cars. 🚗 It’s roughly like taking that pollution out of the atmosphere and burying it 2.6km deep below the seabed. This is just one of many projects recently featured in our new innovation report. Check out the whole report at https://lnkd.in/dkfUS7ys
NO!! - Do NOT store the captured CO2 under ground like ordinary garbage in an oldfashioned DUMP place!! In stead REUSE the CO2 for green purposes like bio fuels, green houses, growth of forests or seaweed! 🤔♣️♠️🌻
And loose 30-40% of the energy produced. “Old” DONG worked with this at the Esbjerg coal fired power plant and concluded that energy savings were more cost efficient factor 1:10 i think)
Can´t help but thinking "-Is this LEAN?". There is something fundamentally wrong in creating a problem and then doing all that movement to mitigate the damage.
An exiting project, and would support the world hopefully for the future of humankind and the nature 👏🌍🌱
Great to see plans for CO2 removal at this scale incl. a pathway for storage. But this is not "better" than mitigating GHGs - we need CDR IN ADDITION to reducing emissions. There is no silver bullet.
The Project I am now on , its going to be interesting.
More greenwashing 🙄
What happens to the CO2 buried underground in the future?

3moHas every body forgotten that CO2 is what nature lives of. CO2 is used in greenhouses for plants to live of. If we remove CO2 all problems will be solved because we will have no food and we will all die.
