Aker Carbon Capture, a leading cleantech company, has secured a significant pre-FEED (Front-End Engineering Design) contract from Statkraft, a major Norwegian renewable energy company. This collaboration marks a crucial step towards achieving Norway's ambitious climate goals and highlights the potential of carbon capture technology in addressing global environmental challenges.

Aker Carbon Capture and Statkraft are important contributors in combating climate change. Aker specializes in advanced carbon capture technology, while Statkraft excels as a sustainable renewable energy producer. Their collaboration harnesses their respective strengths to speed up the progress of carbon capture solutions.
"We are excited to extend our collaboration with Statkraft. The decarbonization of the waste-to-energy industry is crucial in achieving Norway's ambitious climate goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030," said Jon Christopher Knudsen, Chief Commercial Officer at Aker Carbon Capture. "By leveraging our product portfolio and ongoing projects, we maintain a robust position within the waste-to-energy sector," Knudsen continued.
The initial engineering design (pre-FEED) agreement centers around Statkraft's Heimdal waste-to-energy facility situated in Trondheim, Norway. The objective is to trap a considerable volume of CO2 emissions, approximately 220,000 tons per year, potentially leading to a 25% decrease in Trondheim's overall CO2 emissions. This showcases the significant influence that carbon capture can exert on reducing carbon footprints within waste-to-energy establishments - an essential area for attaining climate neutrality.

The preliminary front-end engineering design (pre-FEED) phase is an essential starting point in any large-scale engineering endeavor. At this stage, Aker Carbon Capture will conduct an extensive examination covering various aspects of capturing carbon dioxide at the Heimdal plant - including its compression, purification, liquefaction, temporary storage as well as exploring its transportation to a permanent storage facility.
Through careful planning and design during pre-FEED, Aker Carbon Capture and Statkraft ensure a seamless progression into subsequent development and construction stages while laying down crucial groundwork for a more sustainable future.
Norway aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by an impressive 55% before 2030. Carbon capture technology is crucial in reaching this challenging target. By capturing CO2 from waste-to-energy facilities such as Heimdal, it effectively lowers overall greenhouse gas emissions while preserving the advantages of waste-to-energy for district heating. The Heimdal initiative sets an example for making the waste-to-energy sector more eco-friendly and supports Norway's path to achieving net-zero emissions.
The deployment of carbon capture initiatives, such as the one in Heimdal, goes beyond just helping the environment. It also holds promise for bringing positive changes to society and the local economy. This project could lead to new employment prospects while aiding in building a greener, more sustainable economy.
To make a project successful, it's crucial to involve all relevant parties. Aker Carbon Capture and Statkraft need to actively connect with the local community at every stage of the project. Dealing with issues, being open about what they're doing, and working together with stakeholders are vital for gaining public confidence and securing the long-term success of the project.
The initial funding approval for the Heimdal project has far-reaching importance, not just within Norway but also on a global scale in combating climate change. This partnership demonstrates an effective model for integrating carbon capture technology into waste-to-energy processes, setting a precedent for comparable initiatives worldwide.
The triumph of the Heimdal project has the potential to motivate and prompt other nations to investigate carbon capture solutions as an effective approach for reducing emissions. Aker Carbon Capture and Statkraft, by working together, are influencing the development of carbon capture technology and aiding in creating a greener planet.
The initial engineering design contract given to Aker Carbon Capture by Statkraft is a major step forward in reducing carbon emissions from waste-to-energy processes. This partnership between key players in the industry showcases how carbon capture technology can help reach climate targets. As technology progresses, engaging stakeholders effectively remains crucial.
