BECCS Stockholm and voestalpine – A Milestone for Climate Action
We are proud to be part of Stockholm Exergi’s pioneering BECCS (Bio-Energy Carbon Capture and Storage) project with our roll boded clad plates. The project aims to establish a full-scale CO₂ capture facility at the Värtaverket bio-fueled heat and power plant in Stockholm – with the capacity to permanently remove up to 800,000 tons of biogenic CO₂ each year.
Together with SAIPEM — one of the world’s leading engineering companies with a strong focus on sustainability and a firm commitment to environmental and climate goals — voestalpine Grobblech GmbH, a trusted partner for premium plate products, and ÇİMTAŞ Steel, renowned for its extensive expertise in pressure vessel fabrication, are bringing this pioneering project to life.
As a first step in project execution, the entire quantity of 1,500 tons of roll boded clad plates plates have already been produced at voestalpine Grobblech in Linz and to emphasize the sustainability aspect of this groundbreaking initiative, we are particularly happy to supply around 700 tons of the overall volume in our greentec steel Edition. With these specific heavy plates for the construction of the absorber – voestalpine Grobblech is helping to reduce CO₂ emissions already during the construction phase!
The plates left already Linz for the next important production step that will take place at ÇİMTAŞ Steel (Gemlik Works) in Turkey, the flagship company of ÇİMTAŞ Group, who will be fabricating both Absorber and Stripper Columns.
As the global market leader in roll-bonded clad plates – the combination of a thin corrosion-resistant alloy with carbon steel – voestalpine offers a smart and cost-efficient alternative to solid stainless steel. This makes it the ideal solution for designing components such as absorbers, stripper units, pipes, and more.
The result: Excellent corrosion resistance combined with the advantages of carbon steel generates clear savings in both material selection and fabrication.
This project marks a major step toward a carbon-neutral future – bringing together innovation, sustainable materials, and strong collaboration to reach climate goals.
