Sweden – Aker Carbon Capture has been awarded a pre-FEED (pre-Front End Engineering Design) contract for a Just Catch carbon capture application by a Swedish energy company.

This follows an earlier feasibility study contract for another Swedish company, Söderenergi, announced in June, further strengthening Aker Carbon Capture’s position in the growing Swedish market.

Sweden aims to become carbon neutral by 2045 at the latest and achieve negative net CO2 emissions after that. As part of these ambitions, Sweden is positioning itself to become a global leader in generating high quality and durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits from bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). The country has a large bio-energy sector.

Flagship projects

Aker Carbon Capture is currently also delivering a Just Catch unit at Twence’s waste-to-energy facility in the Netherlands. These flagship projects contribute to Aker Carbon Capture’s mission to standardize and modularize carbon capture plants, with reduced footprint and significant cost and energy benefits, to the mid-scale emitter market.
