Skanska selected for Stockholm Exergi’s BECCS facility construction
Skanska AB, the Swedish arm of international project development and construction company Skanska Group has announced that it has signed a contract with compatriot municipal energy utility Stockholm Exergi AB to lay the foundations and build a quay for the upcoming BECCS @ STHLM facility, one of the world's largest bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) facilities in Stockholm, Sweden.
According to a statement, an existing agreement between the parties for Phase 1 is now complemented by a contract for Phase 2.
Worth around SEK 990 million (≈ EUR 90 million), the contract for Skanska includes foundation works, ground and concrete work for the BECCS building, as well as a new quay facility.
Stockholm Exergi’s facility will be built in Energy Harbour at Värtan. The nearby Värtaverket combined heat and power (CHP) plant already produces sustainable heat and electricity from residues from the forest and sawmill industries.
The BECCS facility will capture and store approximately 800,000 tonnes of biogenic carbon dioxide (bioCO2) annually from flue gases generated by Stockholm Exergi’s Värtaverket.
Work on the new BECCS facility starts immediately and is planned to be completed during 2028.
The construction of the facility is an important part of the City of Stockholm’s goal to become a climate-positive area by 2030.
The BECCS @ STHLM project is made possible through a combination of support from the EU’s Innovation Fund, state aid, and private purchases of certificates for negative emissions from companies with high climate ambitions.
