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 Towards Climate Neutrality
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 offset their remaining emissions, achieving true climate neutrality.

This opportunity supports companies in strengthening their green credentials, enhancing brand value, and meeting the growing demand for sustainable practices from customers and investors. It also contributes to the broader economic development of the region by fostering a green economy and encouraging innovation. Initiatives like this align with Helsingborg’s commitment to becoming climate-neutral by 2030 and its participation in programs such as Viable Cities, which promote collaboration between municipalities, businesses, and other stakeholders to achieve sustainable 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 environmental goals and economic growth.
