Airfix, CO2 Energie AG and South Pole begin commercial cross-EU BECCS project
In Switzerland, Airfix, CO2 Energie AG and South Pole officially began commercial operations at Switzerland’s flagship BECCS project in Niederwil. The first ISOtainers filled with liquefied biogenic CO2 have left the Regionalwerke AG Baden (RWB) biomethane plant and arrived in Denmark for permanent geological storage at Project Greensand in the North Sea.
This milestone marks the transition from years of development into active, daily execution, establishing Europe’s first operational, cross-border, commercial-scale, multimodal Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) value chain.
Operating at Switzerland’s largest biomethane facility in Niederwil, the project captures biogenic CO2 generated during the anaerobic digestion of local agricultural and food waste. Up to 4,300 tonnes of biogenic CO2 will be captured and liquefied on site each year.
Once liquefied, the CO2 is loaded into specialised ISOtainers to begin a seamless cross-border journey managed by HOYER Group and coordinated by Airfix.
