Aker Carbon Capture has started building its Just Catch modular carbon capture plant at Twence’s waste-to-energy plant in Hengelo, the Netherlands.

With the unveiling of the construction board, building activities at the project site has commenced.

The facility will reduce CO2 emissions linked with the production of energy from the incineration of non-recyclable waste.

This CO2 captured will be utilised in liquid form in the greenhouse horticulture sector.

By the end of next year, the Just Catch plant will begin capturing 100,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.

Claimed to be the largest generator of sustainable energy in the Dutch province of Overijssel, Twence produces energy from non-reusable residual and also industrial waste.

In November 2021, the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs offered a subsidy of €14.3m, primarily because the carbon capture initiative contributes to the national target to quickly cut down CO2 emissions.

A pure-play carbon capture company, Aker Carbon Capture offers solutions, services and technologies serving a range of industries with carbon emissions.

Aker Carbon Capture CEO Valborg Lundegaard said, “It is such a great feeling being able to put the first spade in the ground. We have been working closely together with the highly dedicated people from Twence to realize this unique CCU project. We can’t wait to start capturing the first CO2 emissions at the end of next year. Together we will contribute to a CO2-neutral environment. This will set the example for other energy players in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe.”

Twence managing director Marc Kapteijn said: “It is Twence’s ambition to contribute to the circular economy and to produce more valuable raw materials from waste. This CO2capture plant is a wonderful example of that. The realisation of the plant requires knowledge and expertise. Which is why we collaborate with skilled and specialised parties. I look forward to a successful collaboration, one in which safety comes first!”
