Carbon Centric is currently building a carbon capture plant at Østfold Energy’s waste-to-energy facility in Rakkestad, Norway. This is a carbon capture and utilization (CCU) project with a capture capacity of approximately 10,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year. It offers valuable learning opportunities and will serve as a demonstrator for future projects. The plant is expected to be operational by late summer 2025, making it one of the world’s first full-scale carbon capture facilities at a waste incineration plant. 

​

As a CCUS company, our focus spans both CO₂ utilization (CCU) and storage (CCS). We aim to match each CO₂ project with the most suitable off-takers or storage facilities, carefully considering factors such as available storage capacity, transport logistics, and access to renewable energy. The Rakkestad project is a CCU project that will deliver foodgrade, liquid CO2 to Linde Gas AS, one of the leading industrial gas companies in the world. 

Most of the projects in our portfolio are based on post-combustion carbon capture from sources with a high biogenic content, such as waste wood and other non-recyclable biomass. These projects are designed to deliver real, measurable, and permanent carbon dioxide removals when executed as CCS projects with permanent geological storage. 
 

With the Rakkestad plant soon to be operational it will be providing valuable insights and learnings that can be applied to further de-risk this other projects in our portfolio. It demonstrates that we can pull off such a project in short time and it serves as a replicable model for BECCS deployment at small- to medium-scale bioenergy sites across the Nordics. Thus, it is part of Carbon Centric’s broader effort to advance modular CCUS solutions and establish a full value chain for carbon removal from many similar decentralized biogenic sources.
