This is the first episode in Stockholm Exergi’s mini-documentary series about the construction of BECCS in Stockholm, a new facility for capturing and permanently storing biogenic carbon dioxide.
In this episode, we meet Smiti Mehra and Egil Nybakk, who are working on the project. How do you build a facility on this scale, right next to a combined heat and power plant that must continue supplying Stockholm with heat and electricity? And could the lessons learned here make it easier to build more facilities and help carbon capture play a greater role in climate action around the world?
