2. Further Information

FieldInformation
Project DescriptionCO2 capture plant on Norway’s largest energy-from-waste plant, aiming to capture 400ktCO2/yr. Around 50% of an EfW plants emissions are of biogenic origin, so this project has the potential to remove up to ~200ktCO2/yr that would count as negative emissions. Once operational, this project could be the first of its kind globally. Along with the Norcem Brevik cement plant, Hafslund Oslo Celsio - previously Fortum Oslo Varme (FOV) - is part of Norway’s Longship project (see separate entry) and will receive CO2 transport and storage services under Equinor’s Northern Lights JV project (see separate entry). Following a successful Pilot-scale Capture Project, in 2016, the Norwegian Government announced funding for further concept and FEED studies. These were awarded to Aker, AF Consultants, Brevik Engineering and Larvik Shipping, and included capture studies for FOV, Norcem Brevik and the Yara ammonia plant in Porsgrunn. In May 2018, the Norwegian government confirmed FEED study funding. Successful 9-month pilot project ended in Dec 2019, that captured 3.5tCO2/day using Shell’s Cansolv technology. FID announced in 2021 to proceed with FOV (50% contingent on 'other sources' funding) and Norcem (100% funded) projects. The remaining 50% funding was secured in March 2022. * Previously known as the Fortum Oslo Varme (FOV) CCS Project, the name was changed to Hafslund Oslo Celsio following a change of ownership in May 2022.

End Operation Year
Date CommentOriginal intended operational year was 2024; the plant could now be operational around 2026/2027 following the funding announcement in March 2022.

4. Funding

FieldInformation
Estimated CostNOK 11.8 bn (GBP 1.1 bn)
Public FundingYes
Public Funding CommentFunded by Gassnova, state owned. Mar 2017 - ESA approve public finance. Norwegian government announced FID in 2021 to fund ~50% (NOK 3bn) of FOV as part of Longship, on the condition that the other ~50% (~NOK 3.8bn) come from other sources. FOV announced in March 2022 that the remaining 50% funding had been secured.
