Today marks the official start of operations at Carbon Centric\u2019s facility in Rakkestad, as the first batch of food-grade liquid CO\u2082 has been approved and delivered to the customer. This marks a major milestone for the emerging carbon capture industry in Norway: it is the country\u2019s first operational carbon capture plant outside the Norwegian government\u2019s Longship project, and it is also the world\u2019s first waste incineration plant equipped with the capacity for full carbon capture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

This is a landmark day for Carbon Centric, for Rakkestad \u2013 and for the climate. Delivering our first tonnes of captured CO\u2082 proves that the technology works in practice and that we can help build a new green industry. \u00a0I\u2019m incredibly proud of the teamwork behind this achievement \u2013 it is the result of a strong and dedicated team,\u201d\u00a0Fredrik H\u00e4ger, CEO i Carbon Centric<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The official inauguration of the Rakkestad carbon capture plant will be held on 16 October 2025, exclusively for invited guests and accredited members of the media<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n

About the project<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Rakkestad plant is Carbon Centric\u2019s first full-scale facility \u2013 the first of its kind in Norway and among the very first worldwide. It captures CO\u2082 from a waste-to-energy incineration plant and makes the gas available as a recycled, food-grade raw material for a range of industries. The plant is currently being certified by DNV to comply with FSSC 22 000. With a capture capacity of around 10,000 tonnes of CO\u2082 per year, the plant is designed to handle the flue gas from the incinerator at full scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next steps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rakkestad is the first in a growing portfolio of projects that Carbon Centric is developing in Norway and across the Nordics. Next in line is a carbon capture project from a bio-energy plant (BECCS project) at Kirken\u00e6r together with Sol\u00f8r Bioenergi, aiming to capture around 32,000 tonnes of biogenic CO\u2082 annually. These kinds of projects can generate carbon removals if the captured gas is sent to permanent storage, and the Kirken\u00e6r project is expected to start producing carbon dioxide removal certificates (CDRs) from 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this, Carbon Centric is taking the next step: from supplying CO\u2082 to industry, to also becoming a provider of high-quality carbon removals. Our goal is clear: capture as much CO\u2082 as possible, as quickly as possible, and help establish carbon capture and removal as a new green industry in the Nordics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Carbon Centric<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2021 by Fredrik H\u00e4ger, Kenneth Juul and \u00d8stfold Energi, with Vardar and Obligo later joining as shareholders. Carbon Centric operates on a unique build-own-operate model: we develop, finance, build and operate carbon capture plants, allowing emitters to stay focused on their core business. The company\u2019s goal is to reach final investment decisions by 2030 on projects with a combined annual CO\u2082 capture capacity of 1 million tonnes, and to establish itself as a leading European player in CCUS \u2013 driven by the vision of helping to bring atmospheric CO\u2082 levels back to 350 ppm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
