A new test plant for CO2 capture in Nyborg, which was called a climate-historical milestone at the time of its inauguration, has run into technical problems and is being delayed. The plant is the first of its kind to attempt to capture CO2 from waste incineration at very high temperatures. This is reported by Fyens Stiftstidende.
- Our supplier has had some technical challenges in connection with the commissioning of the pilot plant. Therefore, we have had to revise the schedule slightly, so we now expect to have the test results from the operation ready in the third quarter of 2025 and not in the second quarter, as was otherwise intended, says Jesper Hansen, who is responsible for communications at NG Nordic.
The inauguration was attended by both Minister of Climate and Energy Lars Aagaard (M) and Nyborg Mayor Kenneth Muhs (V), who called the project a historic climate milestone. According to NG Nordic, the experiences from the test facility will form the basis for a much larger CO2 capture plant of approximately 4,000 square meters.
- External funding will be necessary if the project is to be realized on a large scale, said Jens Peter Rasmussen, CEO of NG Nordic.
The company, which was formerly called Fortum, handles around 180,000 tons of hazardous waste annually. At the same time, production emits almost as much CO2. This makes the current location of the test facility particularly relevant, according to the municipality.
NG Nordic has stated that investments in the test facility are expected to amount to approximately 20 million DKK, while a full-scale facility is expected to cost up to one billion DKK.
