European energy firm E.ON will evaluate the deployment of carbon capture technology at its biomass and waste-to-energy operations in Norrkoping, Sweden, with a capture capacity of up to 500,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year.
E.ON has awarded the feasibility study for carbon capture integration to Norwegian carbon capture technology specialist Capsol Technologies.
Capsol said the study will be conducted alongside a strategic engineering partner and will draw on experience from similar carbon capture projects.
The effort supports E.ON’s wider decarbonisation efforts, including achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
E.ON is already active in the renewable gas sector through its German subsidiary E.ON Bioerdgas, which operates five biogas plants using agricultural feedstocks.
While E.ON divested its Swedish biogas business, E.ON Biofor Sverige, to Finnish energy company ST1 in 2021, the company continues to evaluate decarbonisation opportunities across its broader Swedish energy portfolio.
gasworld has reached out to E.ON for information regarding the timeline for carbon capture technology integration and its current European biogas operations. This story will be updated when possible.
