Stockholm Royal Seaport — Biochar District Heating Integration

Stockholm, Sweden, Europe

Completed · Energy · Carbon-Negative District Energy System · Temperate · 2021

Stockholm Exergi's BECCS (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) pilot integrated into Stockholm Royal Seaport's district heating network, capturing CO2 from biomass combustion and producing biochar as a negative-emission by-product sequestered in local soil. First operational bioenergy carbon capture at district scale in Scandinavia.

Innovation highlights

• First operational BECCS district heating integration in Scandinavia
• Biochar by-product sequestered in urban soil, achieving net carbon removal
• CO2 captured from biomass combustion at 1,000 tonne/year pilot scale
• Negative-emission district heating — removes more carbon than it emits
