European Energy and Ammongas to remove up to 150,000 tons of CO2 annually

European Energy and Ammongas are among the partners in a project in Næstved that aims to remove up to 150,000 tons of CO₂ annually as part of the Danish Energy Agency’s CCS subsidy program.

European Energy and its subsidiary Ammongas are part of the project consortium that has now achieved prequalification for the Danish Energy Agency’s CCS pool. The project is based at AffaldPlus’ facility in Næstved and will deliver a full-scale CO₂ capture plant capable of reducing up to 150,000 tons of CO₂ annually from the incineration of residual waste.

The consortium – comprising AffaldPlus, European Energy, Ammongas, and CarbonCuts – will develop the complete CCS project, from the waste-to-energy facility to final CO₂ storage.

European Energy will contribute its project development expertise and experience in delivering complex and innovative projects and value chains.

“There is great potential in combining European Energy’s strengths in project development and technological innovation with Ammongas’ expertise in carbon capture and liquefaction. When these capabilities are aligned with AffaldPlus’ green agenda, we create solutions that not only reduce CO₂ emissions locally but also contribute to Denmark’s overall climate efforts,” says Emil Vikjær Andresen, Executive Vice President and Head of Power-to-X at European Energy.

Ammongas will contribute its experience in carbon capture technologies and related value chains, applying recent insights from CO₂ liquefaction projects such as the Tønder LCO₂ plant.

“Our role is to ensure that CO₂ is captured efficiently and reliably. It is a crucial part of the overall solution, and we are proud to contribute our experience and technology to a project that can make a real difference for the climate,” says Jaime Casasus-Bribian, CEO of Ammongas and Director at European Energy for Power-to-X and CCS.

Prequalification for the CCS pool is an important step that opens the door to the next phase, where financing must be secured and technical work will intensify. The project is expected to be funded through a combination of public support and private investment.

“This is not just a technological project—it marks a new climate policy breakthrough for the provinces. That we in Næstved and South Zealand can take the lead with a full-scale CCS plant shows that the green transition is not limited to large cities. We look forward to actively contributing to the national climate effort and setting new standards for CO₂ reduction across Denmark,” says Ole J. Andersen, Energy Manager at AffaldPlus.
