Full-scale CCS Plant Reduces CO2 Emissions by One Third
A full-scale CCS plant at Preem's refinery in Lysekil would reduce CO2 emissions by one third. Now the company is aiming to build a full-scale facility by 2025. Preem, together with Chalmers and Norwegian research institute SINTEF, has conducted a preliminary study on how Preem's refinery in Lysekil could use CCS, Carbon Capture and Storage, ie to capture and store carbon dioxide. The CCS technology itself is about separating carbon dioxide from the flue gases before being released into the atmosphere. "With the feasibility study we have been able to define the obstacles and
