The state-owned energy giant Vattenfall is stopping two investments in carbon dioxide capture in Jordbro in Haninge municipality outside Stockholm, as well as in Uppsala, reports SVT Stockholm.
The plan was to capture a total of 350,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year from the two power plants' chimneys using so-called CCU and CCS technology, partly to pump down captured carbon dioxide for storage in the ground.
Vattenfall writes in an email to SVT that "the market for carbon dioxide capture is too immature and that the economy to implement the project is lacking".
Corrected: Correcting information that all carbon dioxide is about CCS technology.
