Transporting Captured Carbon Dioxide from Filbornaverket.

Once carbon dioxide is captured and liquefied at Filbornaverket, it embarks on a carefully managed journey to its final storage site deep under the North Sea. The CO₂ is first cooled and pressurized into a liquid state, which makes it more compact and easier to handle during storage and transport. This liquefied form optimizes space and efficiency, allowing for smoother logistics throughout the entire chain.

The journey begins with truck transport from Filbornaverket to a nearby rail terminal. From there, the CO₂ is transferred to trains, which carry it to a designated port. The final leg of the journey is by ship, where the carbon dioxide is securely transported across the sea to its permanent storage location in the Danish sector of the North Sea.

We have, of course, accounted for the emissions from these transportation steps in our net emissions calculations. Our goal is to keep the entire transport chain as sustainable as possible, ensuring that the climate benefit of carbon capture is maintained throughout the process.

Future Possibilities for Streamlined Transport
Currently, there are no active CO₂ storage sites in Sweden, which means captured carbon from Filbornaverket must be transported across national borders to established storage facilities in Denmark and Norway. However, investigations are underway for potential storage locations off the coasts of Gotland and Trelleborg.

If Sweden develops its own CO₂ storage capacity in the future, the entire logistical chain could be significantly optimized. Shorter transport distances would reduce both costs and emissions, potentially eliminating the need for long-distance shipping by sea. A domestic solution would allow for faster and more efficient handling, directly from Filbornaverket to local storage sites. While a Swedish storage option is not expected before 2030 or 2035, it represents an exciting opportunity to further enhance the sustainability and efficiency of our CCS operations.
