Danish biogas systems manufacturer Bigadan plans to inaugurate biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) capture at its BioEnergi facility in Kalundborg, Denmark.
The eastern Denmark site is initially expected to capture 27,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from biogas production, with plans to scale to 200,000 tonnes of CO2 annually by 2030.
Once the CO2 is captured, it will then be transported and stored in the Danish section of the North Sea, home to Project Greensand, led by specialty chemicals manufacturer INEOS.
Project Greensand expects to permanently store 250 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2040.
Bigadan says its efforts represent one of the world’s first complete and commercial value chains for the capture, transport, and permanent storage of biogenic CO2.
Kalundborg Bioenergi processes manure and organic by-products from agriculture and industry into biogas and fertiliser products. The facility is part of the local circular economy network around Kalundborg, where industrial and agricultural waste streams are reused.
The site started operations in June 2018, following a pilot project in 2015.
Bigadan has already integrated carbon capture at its Horsens site and plans to roll out the technology across all its biogas plants.
