FREDERICIA, Denmark — Ørsted has started construction of two facilities that will capture and store carbon emissions from the woodchip-fired Asnæs power station in Kalundborg and the straw-fired Avedøre power station in Greater Copenhagen.

The project, awarded a 20-year contract in May by the Danish Energy Agency, will capture 430,000 metric tons/year of biogenic CO₂ from the two combined heat and power plants, starting in early 2026.

The Asnæs facility will also serve as a CO₂ hub, handling and shipping biogenic carbon delivered there and from Avedøre to the Equinor-operated Northern Lights storage reservoir in the Norwegian North Sea.

Once the CO2 is captured onshore, Northern Lights says it will be transported by newly designed ships, injected and permanently stored 2,600 m below the seabed of the North Sea.
