FREDERICIA, Denmark—Ørsted has started construction of two facilities that will capture and store carbon emissions from the woodchip-fired Asnæs power station in Kalundborg and the straw-fired Avedøre power station in Greater Copenhagen.
The project, awarded a 20-year contract in May by the Danish Energy Agency, will capture 430,000 metric tons/year of biogenic CO2 from the two combined heat and power plants, starting in early 2026.
The Asnæs facility will also serve as a CO2 hub, handling and shipping biogenic carbon delivered there and from Avedøre to the Equinor-operated Northern Lights storage reservoir in the Norwegian North Sea.
