en.Wedoany.com Reported - Danish biogas developer BioCirc has officially launched its carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility in Vesthimmerland, northern Jutland, which the company claims is currently the world's largest CCS project integrated with biogas production. This facility is the first of five CCS projects planned within BioCirc's regional bioenergy portfolio, marking the official commissioning of its full-scale Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) platform.

The newly completed Vesthimmerland facility is designed to capture 32,500 metric tons of biogenic carbon dioxide annually. The gas is separated as a byproduct during the anaerobic digestion process, then liquefied on-site and transported to INEOS's Greensand storage site in the Danish North Sea for permanent subsea injection. The project is financially supported by Denmark's Energy Agency through the dedicated NECCS funding pool.

Following the successful commissioning in Vesthimmerland, BioCirc plans to deploy the remaining four CCS facilities across its active network, targeting biogas plants in Favrskov, Haderslev, Grønhøj, and Vinkel. Once fully operational, the platform will cover five of BioCirc's eight domestic production sites, thereby enhancing the company's ability to deliver verifiable negative emissions. By connecting decentralized upstream agricultural capture with mature offshore storage infrastructure, BioCirc has built a complete end-to-end BECCS value chain. This model enables operators to layer multiple revenue streams on top of the core biogas business, reducing overall carbon abatement costs and providing permanent carbon removal services for hard-to-abate sectors such as agriculture, maritime shipping, and heavy road transport.
