Denmark: Aalborg Portland has officially submitted a bid for the Danish CCS pool. The project aims to capture up to 1.4Mt/yr of CO₂. Approximately a further 100,000t will be displaced through secondary effects, including the use of excess heat from the capture process for a district heating scheme in Aalborg. If accepted, the project is expected to be commissioned as early as 2030. The results of the latest bidding round are expected to be announced in April 2026.
Aalborg Portland’s CO₂ capture project, named ACCSION (Aalborg Portland Carbon Capture & Storage using Infrastructure Onshore in North Jutland) has been established in collaboration with Air Liquide.
Søren Holm Christensen, the CEO of Aalborg Portland’s said “This is not just about Aalborg Portland and Denmark’s climate goals. It is about showing the rest of Europe that the transition of heavy industry is possible while maintaining European competitiveness, security of supply, and jobs.”
