CCS klynga på Øra (CCS cluster in Øra industry and harbor area)

The idea of the project is based on the possibility to establish a CCS cluster for capture, liquefaction, intermediate storage and shipping of approximately 140-300.000 tons of liquid carbon dioxide per year from the industry and harbor area in Øra, Fredrikstad.

The project will be conducting a mapping and study of the basis for the creation of such a CCS cluster. The sources of CO₂ could be from energy recovery of residual waste, the production of biofuels, chemical industry and food processing. It is a goal to facilitate the mapping and evaluation of selected suppliers of new and more cost-effective capture technology and solutions for LCO₂ production and transport.

The development of the cluster will be based on technology development, transfer of experience and learning from the CCS project at Klemetsrud,-in combination with the common infrastructure and synergies in terms of industrial ecology that is already established in the industrial area of Øra.
