Zero Emission Waste Incineration at Filbornaverket.

Filbornaverket in Helsingborg is undergoing a groundbreaking transformation towards climate-neutral waste-to-energy production through the implementation of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). This innovative project captures and permanently stores 200,000 tonnesof CO₂ annually by removing carbon emissions directly from the plant’s flue gases before they reach the atmosphere. This process eliminates carbon emissions from waste incineration, enabling Filbornaverket to produce climate-neutral district heating and electricity for homes and businesses across the region.

Öresundskraft’s investment in CCS means that customers connected to the district heating network benefit from truly sustainable energy, significantly reducing their carbon footprint. This unique solution not only supports Helsingborg’s ambitious goal to be climate-neutral by 2030 but also strengthens the local energy infrastructure with greener, cleaner heat.

The climate impact goes even further: by capturing biogenic CO₂ (carbon released from organic materials like food waste and paper) Filbornaverket achieves negative emissions. This means that carbon is permanently removed from the natural cycle, actively lowering the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere.

Through this initiative, Öresundskraft is contributing to global, national, and local climate goals including Helsingborg’s ambitious target to be climate-neutral by 2030.
