Creating Negative Emissions at Filbornaverket.

At Filbornaverket in Helsingborg, Öresundskraft captures both fossil and biogenic CO₂ from flue gases. The captured CO₂ is compressed, transported, and permanently stored deep underground in geological formations. While capturing fossil CO₂ prevents new emissions from Filbornaverket, capturing biogenic CO₂, originating from organic materials like food waste and paper,  removes carbon that would naturally cycle back into the atmosphere. This process creates negative emissions, effectively reducing the overall amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere.

Empowering Local Businesses to Reach Their Climate Goals
The certified negative emissions generated at Filbornaverket are available to local companies that have already minimized their carbon footprints. By purchasing these carbon removal certificates, businesses can address the emissions that are most difficult to eliminate, helping them take the next step towards their climate goals.

This opportunity supports companies in demonstrating climate leadership, enhancing brand value, and meeting the growing demand from customers and investors for credible climate action. It also contributes to the broader economic development of the region by supporting innovation and accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy. Initiatives like this align with Helsingborg’s ambitious climate goals for 2030 and its participation in programmes such as Viable Cities, which promote collaboration between municipalities, businesses, and other stakeholders to advance climate action and urban development.

By facilitating access to negative emissions, Öresundskraft enables local businesses to play an active role in the city’s climate transition, supporting both Helsingborg’s climate goals and long-term economic growth.
