Denmark's Carbon Capture Initiatives at Waste-to-Energy Plants Critical for Climate Goals
CARBON CAPTURE
Denmark's initiatives for carbon capture at waste-to-energy plants are deemed crucial for meeting the country's climate targets by 2030 and 2035, as there are no zero-emission options for residual waste. The Danish government has committed 28.7 billion DKK to support carbon capture and storage (CCS), but high risks and uncertain regulations have led to a lack of bids, with only Aalborg Portland remaining in the competition. Authorities are urged to assume greater responsibility for CO2 transportation and storage risks to facilitate large-scale CCS implementation.
