DNV GL approves Shell’s CO2 technology use at Fortum’s plant
Fortum plans to build a full scale CO2 capture facility at the plant to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 400,000 tonnes per year, the equivalent of emissions from 200,000 cars.
The pilot project showed that Shell’s CONSOLV CO2 technology could capture more than 90% of CO2 from the flue gas, DNV GL, which certifies that technology is as described and meets existing standards, said in a statement.
“The third-party technology qualification by DNV GL gave us confidence that the project risk related to implementing the Shell technology was low,” said Jannicke Gerner Bjerkas, the head of the project at the plant.
Fortum’s plant is a part of a larger carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Norway, which aims to capture emissions from industrial sites and inject them into offshore storage.
In April, DNV GL approved the use of carbon capture technology developed by Norway’ Aker Solutions at Norcem’s cement plant in Brevik, Norway.
The two projects, if built, are expected to reduce emissions by a total of 800,000 tonnes per year.
The Norwegian government is still deciding whether to support the CCS project, which could cost around 25 billion crowns ($2.65 billion), including two carbon capture installations, storage and operating costs for ten years.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) says CCS technology is crucial to limiting global warming, helping to decarbonise industries such as cement production, but opponents say it could prolong the use of fossil fuels. ($1 = 9.4516 Norwegian crowns)

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
