Carbon capture and storage

Carbon capture at the waste incineration plant in Klemetsrud could reduce Oslo's greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent.

  1. What is carbon capture and storage?

    Carbon capture and storage is a method of separating carbon dioxide (CO2) from a gas stream and then storing it permanently. The aim is to mitigate undesirable climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

  2. Carbon capture in Oslo

    Today, the waste incineration plant at Klemetsrud accounts for as much as 20 percent of Oslo’s fossil CO2 emissions. Establishing carbon capture at the plant is therefore essential if Oslo is to achieve its ambitious climate targets.

    A carbon capture facility at Klemetsrud in Oslo could capture up to 350,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.

Carbon capture – the next step

Hafslund is building a carbon capture facility at Klemetsrud in Oslo—one of Norway’s most important climate initiatives. Learn about the process and progress.

For our neighbors at Klemetsrud and Mortensrud

We are building one of Norway’s largest climate initiatives at Klemetsrud in Oslo. As a neighbor, you can use this page to stay updated on the project’s progress.

What is a carbon capture facility, and how does it work?

Here you will find explanations and step-by-step illustrations showing how we will capture and store CO2 from the waste-to-energy plant at Klemetsrud in Oslo.

Could carbon capture become a green industrial success story for Oslo?

This is the question posed in a feasibility study examining whether carbon capture at Klemetsrud could, in addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, lead to new green business activity in the Oslo area.

Oslo: The Carbon Capture Capital of the World!

With our new CO2 capture facility, Oslo will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent! And what will that make Oslo? The Carbon Capture Capital of the World.

“The Carbon what now?” you may be wondering. Yes, it’s hard to say. But we give it a try in our latest commercial.
