en.Wedoany.com Reported - Danish bioenergy company Bigadan will inaugurate a new CO₂ processing facility at Kalundborg Bioenergy on May 20, putting into operation the world's first complete commercial value chain for capturing, transporting, and permanently storing biogenic CO₂ from biogas. The facility captures CO₂ from biogas produced using agricultural and industrial residues, which is then transported via "Project Greensand" to the Danish North Sea for permanent geological storage, thereby directly linking Denmark's biogas production with offshore carbon storage.

Bigadan's Chief Commercial Officer, Henrik Iversen, stated that the Kalundborg facility is no longer a pilot project but the beginning of a new industry. The facility is expected to capture 27,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually. Combined with Bigadan's existing facility in Horsens and the planned Herning facility, the company aims to deploy CO₂ capture capabilities at all its Danish biogas plants, achieving an annual capture volume of 200,000 tonnes by 2030, equivalent to the annual emissions of approximately 100,000 gasoline-powered passenger cars.

North Sea carbon storage is regarded as a key technology for Europe's green transition, and Denmark is poised to become a central hub for permanent carbon storage in Europe. The commissioning of the Kalundborg project makes this trend tangible. The inauguration ceremony will be held on May 20 at Kalundborg Bioenergy, with speeches by Søren Pind, Chairman of the Danish Biogas Association, and Martin Damm, Mayor of Kalundborg. Attendees will tour the facility and learn about the technical details.
