Inter Terminals Sweden (ITS), in co-op with the Port of Södertälje, has started a front-end engineering design study for an open-access intermediate storage facility in the Swedish port for regionally captured carbon dioxide.
The project also aims at securing permits.
The terminal, expected to be operational by 2030, will see the CO2 exported by sea either for permanent storage or further use, e.g., in the production of e-fuels.
"This initiative marks an important milestone for Inter Terminals, positioning us as a key enabler in the emerging CO2-logistics market in Mälardalen. The objective is to offer an open and accessible solution for all regional companies aiming to capture CO2 and seeking efficient solutions for storage or for reuse," said Johan Zettergren, Managing Director of ITS.
Måns Frostell, the Port of Södertälje's CEO, also commented, "This joint initiative further strengthens Södertälje Port's position as a hub for sustainable freight logistics and the future infrastructure for energy management in the Stockholm region."
