The project envisions the creation of permanent onshore CO₂ storage near Kalundborg, with Worley tasked with delivering the initial design of a 20+ km CO₂ pipeline and evaluating the integration of advanced CO₂ handling and treatment facilities.

The captured CO₂ will originate from carbon capture plants across the Baltic Sea region, transported to Kalundborg via sea and road.

The Asnæs Power Station (ASV) will host the import terminal, where Ørsted is currently developing intermediate storage and shipping infrastructure for CO₂.

Being situated in densely populated zones, the project is being designed to the highest safety standards. Technical risks will be thoroughly assessed and mitigated, using international best practices and proven design solutions to protect both the environment and nearby communities.

The global Worley team, including specialists from Denmark, London, The Hague, and Mumbai, will collaborate to deliver this feasibility study—combining local knowledge with global engineering excellence.

“This award reinforces our commitment to supporting the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors in Europe,” said Jan T. Narvestad, SVP Nordics at Worley. “CCS is a critical part of the energy transition, and this project showcases Worley’s capacity to deliver complex, multidisciplinary infrastructure that supports a lower carbon future.”

This project adds to Worley’s growing global portfolio of CCS developments, as industries and governments work to accelerate progress toward net-zero climate goals.
