Project Summary:

LanzaTech is developing a first-of-a-kind integrated Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration (“CCUS”) facility in Porsgrunn, Norway. The plant will produce ethanol from carbon emissions and is expected to begin operations in 2030. 

The project will convert industrial emissions into ethanol creating a concentrated CO2 tail gas stream for liquefaction and permanent geological storage, capturing 97% of carbon that is sent to the project.

The liquified CO2 will be transported and permanently stored in the North Sea.

Over its first ten years of operation, the integrated CCUS facility will avoid approximately 1.7 million tons of CO2 equivalent emissions, similar to that of 170,000 average EU households.
