Carbon Clean’s technology will capture 70 000 tonnes per annum of carbon dioxide (CO2) from Övik Energi’s biomass-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden.
FlagshipONE will combine the biogenic carbon dioxide with renewable hydrogen to produce 50 000 tonnes per year of eMethanol for use in the shipping sector, which currently accounts for around 3 percent of global carbon emissions.
Carbon emissions from shipping have proven hard to abate, but eMethanol is widely believed to be the best scalable green shipping fuel for the next decade.
The FlagshipONE project not only demonstrates the role carbon capture must play in decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors, such as shipping but also that the technology is ready and there is absolute confidence in our ability to deliver at scale. We speak often about the storage of captured carbon, but this project is a perfect example of utilization – the ‘U’ in CCUS – and we are thrilled to be working alongside Ørsted to deliver this project, said Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean.
Utilize modular CDRMax technology
The carbon capture plant will be modular and designed for ease of construction and future replication, with the majority of components fabricated and sourced from Europe, helping develop a large European supply chain base.
Following off-site testing, modules will be transported and assembled on-site in autumn 2024. FlagshipONE is expected to be operational in 2025.
The carbon capture plant will use Carbon Clean’s proprietary CDRMax technology which has been used widely in projects globally for many years.
According to the company, the high-performance solvent offers best in class environmental footprint, high stability, low corrosivity, low regeneration energy requirements, and therefore reduced operational costs compared to conventional options.
First commercial-scale Power-to-X facility
FlagshipONE will be Ørsted’s first commercial-scale Power-to-X facility and is an important stepping stone toward the company’s ambition of taking a leading position in renewable hydrogen and green fuels.
FlagshipONE is a milestone project for Ørsted and for the decarbonization of the maritime industry – and we’re very happy to be working with Carbon Clean, as we embark on the journey to transform global shipping, said Anders Nordstrøm, COO of Ørsted P2X.
