EMISSIONS: EIB Grants €260MN Loan To Sweden’s Large-Scale Carbon Capture

Apr-04 08:51

The European Investment Bank approved a €260mn loan for Sweden’s Exergi to build world’s first large-scale biofuels plant with carbon capture, it said. 

  • The total investment for the project is estimated at €1.33bn.
  • The plant that is scheduled to be operational by 2028, aims to capture and store over 800k tonnes of CO2e annuallymore than the city’s total road traffic emissions.
  • Under EU ETS, companies supplying CO2 to CCS plant can subtract the captured emissions from their surrender obligations.
  • The interaction between EU ETS and CCS is likely to become an ever more relevant topic of regulatory attention as ETS can support the development and deployment of CCS while CCS can deliver emissions mitigation within the scope of ETS, said International Carbon Action Partnership.
