The client is heating and electricity utility Stockholm Exergi, which is spending €1.176bn to add CCS capacity to its existing “Värtaverket” biomass-fuelled heat and electricity plant in the Swedish capital’s Värtan port area.
Skanska will also build a quay for the CCS plant.
Stockholm Exergi says the new CCS plant – called Beccs, for bio-energy carbon capture and storage – will be one of the world’s biggest.
It will capture and store around 800,000 tons of CO2 from the flues of Värtaverket, which burns forestry waste to generate heat and electricity.
The captured CO2 will then be stored permanently in bedrock under the seabed, where it mineralises over time.
Work on the new Beccs facility starts immediately and is planned to be completed in 2028.
