BASF and ANDRITZ Group have signed a license agreement for BASF’s proprietary gas treatment technology, OASE® blue, to be used in a carbon capture project in Aarhus, Denmark. The project aims to capture about 435,000 tons of CO₂ per year from the flue gases of a waste-to-energy plant, supporting the city’s goal of becoming CO₂-neutral by 2030.
ANDRITZ is the supplier for the carbon capture plant. It is currently conducting pre-engineering studies. The project will move forward once funding from the Danish CCS fund is confirmed. The Danish CCS Fund is a DKK 28 billion program providing subsidies over 15 years to support large-scale carbon capture and permanent storage projects, aiming to remove 2.3 million tons of CO₂ annually by 2030. Funding is allocated per ton of CO₂ captured and stored, and contracts can involve multiple players across the CCS value chain.
The partners worked closely to develop effective solutions for the plant’s complex emission challenges. With its OASE® portfolio, BASF is a global leader in gas treatment technology, applied in over 500 plants worldwide. OASE® blue is particularly effective in handling impurities in flue gases from fossil power plants, boilers, steam reformers, waste incineration plants, and cement production.
