Oslo Has The Clue - The Beauty in the Beast

Promising results for the integration of Carbon Capture and Storage and Waste-to-Energy in Oslo! Find the full story here: http://thebeautyinthebeast.eu/oslo-ha... Norway’s objective is to reduce at least 50% of the GHG emissions by 2030 (compared to 1990 levels). Yet, this ambition entails numerous changes across all sectors, from transportation, construction and up to waste management. A longship may come in handy to navigate even such challenges. Indeed, the Norwegian Government has dubbed its full-chain carbon capture, transport, and storage (CCS) project, launched in September 2020, Longship after their forefathers’ notorious vessels. The plan’s feasibility has been already tested in the outskirts of Oslo by a pilot project carried out at the facility treating the non-recyclable share of Oslo’s municipal waste: the Fortum Oslo Varme Waste-to-Energy plant. The project has been an astounding success so far: the capture efficiency has proven to have a 90-plus per cent capture rate. It means that the Waste-to-Energy plant will be able to capture 400,000 tons of CO2 emissions every year. "Oslo Has The Clue" is part of "The Beauty in the Beast" campaign to promote Waste-to-Energy's hidden beauties. Find out more: http://thebeautyinthebeast.eu/​
