the selection of Air Liquide to power Stockholm Exergi’s carbon capture plant with cutting-edge CO2 liquefaction technology represents a significant milestone in the journey towards a more sustainable future. By harnessing the power of innovative solutions for carbon capture and storage, companies like Stockholm Exergi are making tangible strides in reducing their environmental impact and contributing to global efforts to combat climate change. With the expertise and support of industry leaders like Air Liquide, the transition to a low-carbon economy is within reach, offering a promising outlook for a more sustainable and resilient future.
Stockholm Exergi has made significant progress in its Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) project by selecting Air Liquide’s innovative CO2 liquefaction technology called Cryocap™ LQ. This state-of-the-art technology is a valuable addition to Air Liquide’s range of proprietary technologies, which will facilitate the development of extensive Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) value chains. By enabling the long-distance transportation of liquid CO2 to permanent carbon storage locations, this CO2 liquefaction solution enhances the feasibility of CCS projects.
In line with Air Liquide’s strategic plan ADVANCE, Philippe Merino, Group Vice President supervising Engineering & Construction at Air Liquide, emphasized that the Cryocap™ LQ CO₂ liquefaction technology is particularly well-suited to large-scale CCS projects. As part of the agreement, Air Liquide will supply the CO2 liquefaction technology and equipment for the BECCS project at an existing biomass heat and power plant in Stockholm. The Cryocap™ LQ CO₂ liquefaction unit provided by Air Liquide will be among the largest globally, with a capacity of 3,500 tonnes per day.
The BECCS facility’s goal is to liquefy and store approximately eight million tonnes of biogenic CO2 in its first decade of operation, supported by the European Innovation Fund, a major program globally supporting innovative low-carbon technologies. Air Liquide’s Cryocap™ LQ technology, which demonstrates the company’s expertise in cryogenics, is known for its chemical-free, non-flammable process and compact design. Moreover, this advanced system will enable the recovery and reuse of heat generated during the process to supply Stockholm’s district heating network, enhancing sustainability and safety while offering superior energy efficiency compared to traditional liquefaction methods.
