European Energy receives first biogenic CO2 from Tønder Biogas in Denmark first

Denmark-based renewables company European Energy has received its first truckload of biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Danish biogas plant Tønder Biogas.

The CO2 will be used for the company’s Power-to-X facility in Kassø, where it will play a key role in the production of e-methanol. An official inauguration of the site, developed by European Energy together with Japanese conglomerate Mitsui & Co, will take place on 13 May.

European Energy, through its gree-fuels subsidiary Ammongas, is developing carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology in southern Denmark via what is a new CO2 liquefaction facility at Tønder Biogas. Right now this is one of the largest biogas plants in Europe.

This facility, which is now fully commissioned, is capturing, purifying, and liquefying biogenic CO2 and has the capacity to produce 48,000 tonnes of liquefied CO2 annually for European Energy.
