FACTS • The pilot unit for carbon capture is co-funded by the partners ARC, DTU, Pentair and Rambøll. The partners represent a large emitter (ARC), the most skilled scientists within carbon capture (DTU), a manufacturer of carbon capture units with a proven track record (Pentair) and consulting engineers with expert insights into waste-to-energy, district heating and carbon capture (Ramboll). • The project is being co-funded (DKK 30 mio.) by the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP). • The pilot unit can capture up to 850 kg. CO 2 / day and will be operational throughout 2021.

On June 24 th , Danish Minister for Climate, Energy, and Utilities, Dan Jørgensen and Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, Lars Weiss inaugurated a pilot unit for carbon capture at ARC.
The way to reach net-zero energy consumption is to study the energy streams of the capture unit.
capture unit. The residual heat from the capture process is being turned into district heating.
“We need to be certain that the amine liquid entering the absorber tower is cold enough. When it comes from the desorber, it will run through a heat exchanger, but the temperature of the amine won’t be low enough. In standard
“In terms of megawatts, the capture process is energy neutral. But in terms of economy, there is a loss since electricity has a higher economic value than district heating”, says ARC program manager Peter Blinksbjerg.
