Bioenergy with carbon capture
Advantages of Capsol's point source carbon capture technologies
Additional district heating generation
For customers that are connected to a district heating network, our CapsolEoP® solution can boost their energy production during winter months. Here our technology makes a capture facility an additional revenue generator. Â
Engineering work for clients has produced energy consumption numbers of 0.5-1.5 GJ per ton of CO2 captured, depending on the composition and temperature of the flue gas (not including liquefaction).Â
Low energy consumption and fully electric
A Capsol carbon capture plant can be solely powered by electricity, which results in an overall low energy consumption due to the highly efficient internal heat pump effect for the conversion from electricity to heat.
Stand-alone unit simplifies integration
Our technologies are designed as stand-alone units that limits modification needs of customer’s facilities and minimize downtime of the customer’s plant during the construction period. Simpler integration reduces capex and project risk.
Safe and cost-effective handling of solvent
Our proven and safe Hot Potassium Carbonate (HPC) solventis relatively cheap and available globally. This is different to Amines, where emitters may be locked in with one expensive solvent supplier. In addition, HPC offers superior HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) and easier permitting.

Stockholm Exergi - Europe's largest BECCS projectÂ
The biomass-powered combined heat and power plant Värtaverket in Stockholm, Sweden, was Capsol’s first license agreement for CapsolEoP®.
With a full-scale deployment of 800,000 tons of CO2 per year, Värtaverket will be Europe’s first large-scale negative emissions plant.
In addition to being awarded EUR 180 million by EU, Stockholm Exergi has received environmental permits from Sweden’s Land and Environment Court and signed permanent carbon removal agreements with Microsoft and The Frontier fund.Â
