Ports of Stockholm, Aker BP and Höegh Evi are initiating a collaboration to establish a CO₂ logistics hub at Stockholm Norvik Port. This will enable an efficient and sustainable transport chain for carbon dioxide from industrial emitters in eastern Sweden.
The collaboration began in May 2025 and is a continuation of the NICE project (Norvik Infrastructure CCS East Sweden), which previously conducted a feasibility study in collaboration with a number of stakeholders. The continued work focuses on a detailed design of the logistics node Stockholm Norvik Port in close dialogue with suppliers and participants in the project. The goal is to enable investment decisions across the value chain.
“Stockholm Norvik Port is ideally located for CO₂ collection, and is highly accessible for carrier ships transporting the CO₂ to its permanent storage site. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Ports of Stockholm, Aker BP and nearby emitters to develop this key connection within the Baltic Sea value chain for CCS,” said Nils Jakob Hasle, EVP Clean Energy in Höegh Evi.
“I am pleased to announce the collaboration with Aker BP and Höegh Evi. By establishing a logistics hub for carbon dioxide at Stockholm Norvik Port, it is possible to create an efficient and sustainable transport chain for carbon dioxide from many potential emitters in eastern Sweden and around the Baltic Sea,” says Johan Wallén, Marketing and Sales Manager at Ports of Stockholm.
“This has the potential to become a groundbreaking project that enables a robust, integrated, and scalable European CCS network and make a significant contribution to achieving EU and Sweden’s ambitious climate goals,” says Ørjan Jentoft, CCS Asset Manager at Aker BP.
Achieving Sweden’s climate targets, including net zero emissions by 2045, will require large scale deployment of negative emissions and CO₂ storage. A functional and reliable logistics chain will be essential to enable CCS for industries across eastern central Sweden.
Aker BP is one of Europe's largest independent oil and gas companies, with facilities in Norway. Aker BP is investing in CO₂ storage on the Norwegian continental shelf, primarily as a potential new growth opportunity, but also as a way to support Europe's decarbonization efforts.
Höegh Evi is a global leader in maritime energy infrastructure, with over 50 years of experience in floating energy solutions. The company played a crucial role in stabilizing European energy markets during the gas crisis of 2022 and is now a pioneer in marine CCS solutions.
Stockholm Ports is working actively, long-term, and strategically for sustainable port operations and shipping. Environmental work is an integral part of daily operations and follows the City of Stockholm's goal of a climate-positive Stockholm by 2030 and fossil-free by 2040.
