Feasability Study of Capturing CO 2 from the Klemetsrud CHP Waste-to-Energy Plant in Oslo

KEA currently has permission to accept and process 320,000 tons of waste per year and has a technical capacity to process approximately 350,000 tons of waste per year. The feasibility study has been based on the plant's current technical capacity. KEA annually produces approximately 0.8 TWh of energy, out of which about 170 GWh is electricity and approximately 630 GWh is heat for district heating. The plant is implementing increased capacity, and the goal is that the plant in 2018 will produce more than 1.15 TWh of energy in the form of electricity and heat. All the heat is delivered to Hafslund Varme, and approximately equals 40 percent of Hafslund's annual heating (1.6 TWh in 2015). Hafslund Varme has aim to increase district heating deliveries inexcess of 2 TWh, but if the framework conditions improve, the potential for district heating in Oslo is close to 3 TWh. Increased demand for district heating and -cooling could provide a basis for the establishment of a new line 4 at KEA, with additional combustion capacity of 90 to 150,000 tons of waste annually.
