Launch of Sweden’s largest carbon capture and storage plant
Sweden’s largest test facility for carbon dioxide capture has begun operation at Preem's refinery in Lysekil. Within the pilot project ‘Preem CCS’, the entire value chain will be analyzed – from the capture of carbon dioxide to its storage. The outcome of the project will enable more companies to use the technology and reduce their carbon dioxide emissions.The project is a collaboration between Preem, Aker Solutions, Chalmers University of Technology, Equinor and the Norwegian research institute SINTEF.
