Beccs Stockholm

Curious about how CO₂ will be transported from our facility? Hear all about shipping from Mikael Jarlhammer, Logistics Manager at Stockholm Exergi 🚢

"A historic decision" is how Stockholm Exergi's CEO Anders Egelrud describes the decision to move forward with building our BECCS facility. We couldn't be more excited to take this important step toward a better future!

EU countries on study visit – exploring the sustainable city of the future in practice A big thank you to the Polish Embassy and the Polish EU Presidency for giving us the opportunity to share our work during their gathering of EU ambassadors to Sweden. Anders Egelrud, CEO at Stockholm Exergi, spoke about the role of district heating in a sustainable energy system, our investment in carbon capture (bio-CCS), and how we’re building solutions for future generations in collaboration with the City of Stockholm. 💡 Conversations like these matter. To inspire. To learn. And to accelerate the transition – across Europe. Thank you to everyone who joined us! #sustainability #climateaction #districtheating #bioCCS #futurecities #energytransition #StockholmExergi

Stockholm Exergi to build one of the world’s largest facilities for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, Beccs Stockholm Today’s investment decision marks a major milestone in enabling permanent removals and will help Sweden and the EU reach their long-term climate goals. Construction will begin immediately, with the goal of having the facility operational during 2028. "This is a historic moment for Stockholm Exergi and for the green transition. We have worked purposefully for many years to make bio-CCS a reality, and today’s decision means we are moving from plans to action. With this, we assume global leadership in the industry for permanent removals", says Anders Egelrud, CEO. Stockholm Exergi has selected Northern Lights JV as its partner for CO₂ transport and storage. This investment decision now enables Northern Lights to expand its capacity—an important step for future negative emissions projects and the foundation for what could become a new industry, positioning the Nordics and Europe as global leaders in this field. Beccs Stockholm is made possible through a combination of funding from the EU Innovation Fund, Swedish government aid and revenue from the private market.

A developed BECCS industry has the potential to generate green jobs spread across the entire country, from urban cities to rural communities. Sectors benefiting include: 👷♀️ Construction & Installation Jobs in construction, installation, and maintenance as BECCS facilities are built and upgraded. Everything from construction workers and electricians to engineers and project managers. ⚙️ Operations & Technology Long-term jobs to ensure the daily operation and optimization of BECCS plants – process operators, control room staff, environmental specialists, and maintenance technicians. 🚢 Transport & Storage A whole new sector for CO2 transport and secure storage emerging, creating jobs for logistics coordinators, transport personnel, and carbon storage specialists. 🔗 Supply Chain & Services Beyond direct jobs, thousands of indirect jobs will be created at suppliers, consultants, and service providers, along with induced jobs in local businesses benefiting from increased economic activity. 🌱 Investing in BECCS isn’t just a climate solution – it’s a major industrial and employment opportunity that can boost economy and global competitiveness for decades to come. #Greenjobs #Negativeemissions

Sweden: A Leader in Negative Emissions & BECCS Innovation 🌱 Today, OECD - OCDE Environment Director Jo Tyndall and Swedish Minister for Climate and the Environment Romina Pourmokhtari launched the fourth OECD Environmental Performance Review (EPR) of Sweden. The report provides an in-depth analysis of Sweden’s environmental progress over the past decade, with a strong focus on climate change mitigation and negative emissions. The report featured both highlights and challenges. 🔑 A positive takeaway? Sweden is recognized as a leader in BECCS technology and for its proactive role in international climate negotiations, advocating for high-integrity carbon credit mechanisms. At today’s launch event, expert panels tackled critical topics, including climate change mitigation and negative emissions, featuring insights from our own Fabian Levihn PhD. Fabian highlighted that around 25 BECCS projects are currently at various stages across Sweden, reinforcing the country’s commitment to scaling negative emissions solutions. This effort is crucial—as OECD notes that BECCS, along with enhanced carbon sinks and international offsets, could contribute up to 15% of Sweden’s total emissions reductions needed by 2045✅

Scaling Up Carbon Removals: The Time for Action Is Now The latest report from the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change is clear: carbon removals must scale up rapidly for the EU to meet its climate goals. The report highlights key actions needed to accelerate carbon removals: 🔹 Clear policy targets to distinguish between emission reductions and removals.  🔹 Stronger incentives to bridge the gap between pilot projects and full-scale deployment.  🔹 Reliable certification frameworks to ensure transparency and environmental integrity. The EU has set ambitious climate goals, but ambition alone is not enough. We must move from plans to action.  Let’s work together to make large-scale carbon removals a cornerstone of Europe’s climate strategy.

🌱 BECCS: A Growth Engine for Sweden’s Green Transition 🌱 Sweden has an incredible opportunity to lead the way in carbon removal technology - and with it, unlock new jobs and economic growth. According to a study by Implement Consulting Group, scaling up BECCS in Sweden could contribute SEK 24 billion to GDP and create 28,000 jobs across the country. Public investment in BECCS will lay the foundation for a market-driven industry, positioning Sweden as a leader in negative emissions. The demand for high-quality carbon removal is rising, especially from international companies committed to net zero. If we act now, we can build an industry that benefits both the climate and the economy. The future is carbon-negative and Sweden is ready to lead the way. 🚀🇸🇪 Read the full study here: https://lnkd.in/dYptysCY #StockholmExergi #BECCS #ClimateAction #JobCreation #GreenGrowth #CarbonRemoval 

“Voluntary Compliance” of Permanent Carbon Removals is coming - but will it be a stick or a carrot?   Both SBTi and ISO are expected to propose new requirements for consultation shortly, mandating that companies with net-zero targets gradually acquire permanent removals to address their residual emissions.   In this blog Johan Börje, Head of Volontary Carbon Market at Stockholm Exergi, reflects over several key questions: ▪️Will mandating permanent removals deter emission reductions? ▪️How should a company's permanent removal purchases affect its customers’ Scope 3 emissions? ▪️And is this a stick vs. carrot issue?
