Klemetsrud carbon capture agreement signed

Minster of Energy Terje Aasland today signed the funding deal securing the realisation of carbon capture operations at Hafslund Oslo Celsio’s waste incineration plant at Klemetsrud in Oslo.

The first plant to capture CO2 from waste incineration is now being realised.

‘Today’s deal will see the state, the city of Oslo and Celsio work together to realise the world’s first carbon capture plant based on waste incineration. Oslo will thus be able to meet its ambitious citywide climate goals and demonstrate to other European cities how carbon emissions from responsible waste incineration can be cut,’ says Jannicke Gerner Bjerkås, Director of CCS at Hafslund Oslo Celsio, in a press release.

Without the carbon capture plant, it would be impossible to achieve the city of Oslo’s ambitious climate goals. Celsio’s waste incineration plant is the biggest carbon emitter in the city and is solely responsible for 17% of Oslo’s carbon emissions.

‘I would like to thank everyone who has helped ensure we reach this milestone. It is all thanks to your hard work that we have made it to today. We are now ready to begin construction at Klemetsrud together with our partners. Detailed design work begins today, and by August we will embark upon the first physical works on site. I look forward to inviting you all to the official opening in 2026 when we will commission Oslo’s most critical climate initiative,’ says CEO Knut Inderhaug.

Part of the CCS project ‘Longship’

The carbon capture plant at Klemetsrud falls under the Norwegian state’s carbon capture and storage project known as ‘Longship’. Today’s deal is a boost to the project as a whole, and will demonstrate that waste incineration plants across Norway and Europe can achieve significant cuts in their emissions by using CCS. In addition to the plant at Klemetsrud, Longship also include the carbon capture plant hosted at Heidelberg Materials in Brevik. Northern Lights is responsible for the transportation and storage of CO2 deep below the seabed in the North Sea.
