Under the MoU, the companies will combine their technology, competency and capabilities to realize Nordbex 1, Sweden’s first replicable Bio-CCUS facility. Aker Solutions will provide project management, owner’s engineering and EPCm services, whilst Nordbex will lead as project developer.
Scheduled for deployment in the SE4 electricity region by the first half of 2029, the facility will turn forestry waste into electricity and heat for local communities while efficiently capturing CO2.
The collaboration between Aker Solutions and Nordbex began in 2023, when Aker Solutions’ consultancy arm, Entr, was awarded a contract to carry out engineering studies for Nordbex 1, examining the integration of standalone technologies. The MoU marks the next phase, paving the way for future joint initiatives.
