European Energy has received its first truckload of biogenic CO from Tønder Biogas. The CO will be used for the company's Power-to-X facility in Kassø, where it will play a key role in the production of e-methanol.
European Energy, through its subsidiary Ammongas, is developing carbon capture (CCU and CCS) technology in southern Denmark via a new CO liquefaction facility at Tønder Biogas one of the largest biogas plants in Europe. This facility, which is now commissioned, will capture, purify, and liquefy biogenic CO . It has the capacity to produce 48,000 tonnes of liquefied CO annually for European Energy's renewable energy projects.
The liquefaction unit has been engineered, constructed, and commissioned by Ammongas, a subsidiary of European Energy specialising in CO liquefaction. Ammongas' technology pre-conditions and polishes raw CO before compression, dehydration, and condensation, ensuring a purity level exceeding 99%. This high-purity CO is highly versatile and suitable for sequestration, food-grade applications, or green fuel production.
"The first delivery of biogenic CO from Tønder Biogas to our Kassø facility is a major step towards scaling green fuel production in Denmark. By integrating carbon capture with Power-to-X, we are closing the carbon loop and paving the way for a more sustainable energy future," says Jaime Casasus-Bribian, CEO of Ammongas.
A significant portion of the captured CO will be delivered to European Energy's Kassø e-methanol facility, where it will be a crucial component in producing e-methanol a sustainable fuel and chemical essential for decarbonising industry and transportation. By capturing and repurposing biogenic CO , the project supports emissions reduction and promotes circularity in renewable energy production. In addition, it serves as a prime example of Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU).
Located in southern Denmark, the Tønder Biogas facility incorporates advanced CO compression, dehydration, condensation, and liquefaction technology to ensure the captured CO meets the highest industry standards. The liquefied CO will serve as a critical feedstock for the production of green fuels and chemicals at the Kassø e-methanol plant, supporting the broader transition towards renewable energy solutions.
