Chemical CO2 capture
Carbon capture involves the extraction of CO2 from point sources or the atmosphere, using advanced technologies. Point sources in Denmark include industrial processes, heat and power generation, waste-to-energy plants, and biogas facilities.
Currently, CO2 capture technology in Denmark is developed for small-sized CO2 reduction applications. In the coming years, the technology needs to be scaled up to end-users. The Danish Energy Agency estimates a potential for carbon capture at point sources in Denmark of 5,4-10,8 million tons/ year by 2040.
