The Rakkestad Carbon Capture unit in Norway was officially inaugurated on October 16th during a ceremony hosted by Carbon Centric. The event was attended by Florence Robine, French Ambassador to Norway, Astrid Bergmål, State Secretary at the Norwegian Ministry of Energy, along with industry representatives and other distinguished guests.
The project marks a significant milestone for the alliance between Shell Catalysts & Technologies and Technip Energies, which supported Carbon Centric in developing one of Norway’s first waste-to-energy facilities equipped for full carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and utilisation.
The facility features Canopy C10, a modular carbon capture unit from the Canopy by T.EN™ portfolio, developed through the collaboration of the alliance teams and supported by Technip Energies’ Norwegian subsidiary, KANFA. The integrated expertise of the partners enabled streamlined project execution and ongoing performance optimisation.
Designed to capture approximately 10,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, the plant is expected to achieve a capture rate exceeding 95 percent. The facility uses the Shell CANSOLV® CO2 Capture System alongside Technip Energies’ project integration and execution capabilities.
Kenneth Juul, chief commercial officer and co-founder of Carbon Centric, said standardised, prefabricated, and modular systems are helping reduce both costs and deployment timelines, making carbon capture commercially viable for medium and smaller emitters. He added that Carbon Centric’s end-to-end ownership model removes investment and execution risks for emitters, enabling wider adoption of carbon capture solutions.
Julie Cranga, senior vice president Carbon Capture & Circularity at Technip Energies, stated that the plant has been operational since October 2025 and is producing food-grade purity CO2 for utilisation. She described the project as proof that carbon capture technology can work effectively in practice and said the facility demonstrates the strength of the collaboration between Technip Energies and Shell Catalysts & Technologies. Cranga also noted that the Rakkestad project could pave the way for future carbon capture developments in Norway and beyond.
