By making the infrastructure accessible to all – known as third-party access – many are convinced that the CinfraCap infrastructure will contribute to achieving further significant reductions in carbon emissions. Illustration: CinfaCap

Gothenburg a step closer to becoming a hub for transport of captured carbon dioxide

The Swedish Energy Agency has approved the partial funding of the collaborative project CinfraCap, bringing the region a step closer to a carbon capture infrastructure at the Port of Gothenburg. The infrastructure at the Port of Gothenburg could be of crucial significance to the transport of captured carbon dioxide from the entire country to a sub-seabed repository.

CinfraCap is focused on the transport of captured carbon and how this can be done in a climate-smart, cost-effective way.

Liquefied carbon dioxide ready to sail

Gothenburg and Sweden could be the first in the world to create a joint infrastructure for the transport of liquefied carbon dioxide extracted using CCS technology. The project – CinfraCap – is a unique collaborative venture between Göteborg Energi, Nordion Energi, Preem, St1, Renova, and Gothenburg Port Authority.
