2. Further Information

FieldInformation
Project DescriptionThe project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by ~3Mt/yr from large power plants in the Copenhagen metropolitan area along with utilisation and communal CO2 transport and geological storage options in the Danish North Sea. The plants include the ARC Amager Bakke, Vestforbrænding and Argo waste-to-energy plants, the HOFOR biomass plant and the BIOFOS wastewater sludge incinceration plant. More than half of the expected CO2 captured will come from biogenic sources, therefore effecting carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere. Current map location is arbitrary, given that this is a multi-partner cluster project.
