Carbon Centric

Safety first in Carbon Centric!   As we build our carbon capture facility in Rakkestad, safety remains our top priority. Recently, we conducted an emergency drill that put our procedures to the test. We used a scenario where an employee slips on the ice and loses consciousness. Our drill covered every step - from calling emergency services, to a debrief in our site office where we reviewed our internal procedures, and finally to compiling a fictional incident report and a root cause analysis to ensure the incident does not reoccur.   This exercise not only helped us identify areas for improvement, but also reinforced our commitment to creating a safe working environment for everyone on site. Continuous learning and preparedness are key as we strive to prevent incidents before they occur!   #SafetyFirst #CarbonCapture #WorkplaceSafety #Sustainability #CCUS #BECCS

What a week it has been at Rakkestad! 🚀 Our carbon capture plant is coming to life, one piece at a time—just like we tackle climate change, one CO₂ molecule at a time! 🌍 Check out the animation showing how the absorber column was safely installed in less than 30 minutes, A major milestone for the project! We’re incredibly proud of this progress, and it’s even more rewarding to see future generations inspecting the plant—and giving their stamp of approval with a big smile! 😄✨ Technip Energies Shell Catalysts & Technologies KANFA SLÅTTLAND #CarbonCapture #NetZero #CCUS #ClimateAction #Engineering #FutureGenerations

And when we start talking about 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 (𝐂𝐂𝐒) and mix in terms like 𝐁𝐄𝐂𝐂𝐒, 𝐃𝐀𝐂𝐒, 𝐂𝐃𝐑, 𝐕𝐂𝐌, 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝘀 etc., things don’t exactly get easier. Yet, understanding these concepts is crucial for 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐅𝐎𝐬, especially those working toward 𝐧𝐞𝐭-𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟎 or similar targets. For most, reaching net zero will require both CO₂ reduction and CO₂ removal, often through the purchase of CDR credits. While there are many experts writing about this topic, we’ve aimed to simplify it by creating a clear and accessible 𝐂𝐃𝐑 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞—breaking down the key principles and terminology around carbon removal and carbon credits.

These frameworks are essential for ensuring consistency, transparency, and trust across the value chain. 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳? 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Frameworks and methodologies developed by both public institutions, such as the CRCF from the EU, and private organizations, like those from Verra, Isometric, and Puro.earth, establish the rules for calculating carbon credits. These frameworks and methodologies address critical factors such as additionality, permanence, sustainability and leakage. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Included are also rules for monitoring/measuring, reporting, and verifying (MRV), ensuring credits represent real and verifiable Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). By ensuring this, methodologies build trust with investors, buyers, and regulators. 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Integrity frameworks and best practice guidelines, such as ICVCM, ICROA or VCMI, also play an important role in maintaining trust in carbon markets. Global frameworks, such as IPCC guidelines, help harmonize CDR efforts with climate policies and enable cross-border scalability. By setting clear standards for credit quality, transparency, and climate impact, these programs further ensure that carbon projects are aligned with global climate goals. As demand for CDR grows, the interplay between robust methodologies and emerging carbon markets will be critical for fostering sustainable growth and global impact.🌱 #CDR #CarbonCapture #CarbonRemoval #CRCF #CDRMethodologies #Geologicalstorage

🌍 𝗘𝗨'𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 On February 6 2024, the European Commission presented a strategy for industrial carbon management, explicitly mentioning collaboration with Norway. In order to reach net zero CO2 emissions by 2050, the EU will need to capture at least 50 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2030, and around 280 million tonnes by 2040. The three key areas of the strategy are: • 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 • 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 • 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 The strategy focuses on promoting a regulatory and investment framework to advance CCS and CCU technologies. The action points include developing policy options, establishing rules for accounting and preparation of a regulatory framework, market design and infrastructure planning mechanism. The importance of securing both private and public funding is emphasized. Norway is mentioned as one of four countries pioneering the geological storage of CO2 on an industrial scale. For Norway, this strategy offers opportunities to align with EU goals, expand our CCS and CCU efforts, and help shape a unified carbon market. Illustration: The European Commission’s fact sheet shows the growing need for both CCS and CCU by 2050, alongside a breakdown of CO₂ capture sources. #CarbonCapture #CCS #CCUS #CDR #EU #Norway #Innovation #Sustainability Sources:  • European Commission, 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵: 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘖2 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘴 (February, 2024) https://lnkd.in/dxR7gwqQ  • European Commission, 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦, 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘣𝘺 2050 (February 6 2024) https://lnkd.in/derM9R3k  • Stortinget, 𝘌𝘜-𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪 𝘰𝘮 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘬𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨; 𝘌𝘜/𝘌Ø𝘚-𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘵 (February 13 2024) https://lnkd.in/dFBhdsGu

Even if you get state support, the sale of a significant amount of CDRs will be essential to finance a carbon capture and storage project. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱: • Huge CAPEX investments needed to build capture plants. • Lengthy and complex CDR sales processes. • Infrastructure gaps for transporting liquefied CO2 sustainably. • Limited storage access for smaller projects and volumes. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱: • Governments need to expand support to include small businesses    and CCUS projects. • More storage operators must take FID and unlock access also for    smaller project sizes. • State support or state initiated infrastructure initiatives  • Companies and investors should invest in CDR already today,    securing real CCUS project execution and thereby secure crucial    CDR availability when demand really sets in. This is why the    Milkywire approach, which funds pioneering projects essential for    achieving global net zero, is so important and sends powerful    signals to the market. But most of all, the whole value chain has cooperate to build trust and transparency, together💚 #CarbonCapture #CCUS #BECCS

De siste to dagene har jeg hatt gleden av å delta på kurs med Østfold Energi-familien. Kurset om EUs direktiv om bærekraftsrapportering, CSRD, ble holdt av BDO Norge – som ga oss verdifull innsikt og god oversikt over dette omfattende temaet. Det var også spennende å få innblikk i det gode arbeidet Østfold Energi gjør på nettopp dette! Kursdagene var fylt med gode diskusjoner og refleksjoner. Det er inspirerende å jobbe sammen med så engasjerte kollegaer – ikke bare fra Carbon Centric, men også fra Østfold Energi og Zephyr! Takk for lærerike dager. Jeg ser frem til å fortsette arbeidet med bærekraft! 🌱
