Transport & storage
The CCS technology will be implemented at Sysavs combined heat and power (CHP) plant in Malmö, and capture the CO₂ through a post-combustion carbon capture technology using amine-based absorption process. This technology has been chosen over alternatives due to its technical maturity, high capture efficiency, and suitability for the existing waste-to-energy plant setup.
The captured CO₂ will undergo compression at Sysav’s site and then be transported in gaseous state by a purpose-built underground onshore pipeline approximately 1.8 km from the Sysav’s site to the Malmö harbour. At the Malmö harbour the CO₂ will be liquefied and stored in intermediate storage tanks before being loaded onto dedicated ships and transported to a site for permanent offshore geological storage.
The intermediate storage is designed to accommodate additional CO₂ from other emitters with the purpose of creating a regional CO₂-hub at the Malmö harbour. Capturing, compression, liquefication and purification of the CO₂, as well as the transportation in the pipelines, is operated by Sysav, while the intermediate storage, transport and permanent storage is facilitated by a third-party.
