”In the district heating industry, there is both a will, potential and plans to store carbon dioxide that gives negative emissions. But the financing solutions that exist today are not enough”, says Jenny Westerberg, senior analyst at the consulting and research company Profu, in a press release and the report's main author.
The study was commissioned by Energiforsk.
There are also another 20 district heating plants that could double the capacity of captured carbon dioxide. But more money and better control measures are needed, according to the report's author.
”It could be more money to the state's reverse auctions for bio-CCS (capture and storage of carbon dioxide) or some form of investment support”, says Jenny Westerberg.
