Innovative CO₂ Logistics Hub Takes Shape at Stockholm Norvik Port

The Stockholm Norvik Port is set to become a pivotal center for CO₂ logistics, thanks to a groundbreaking collaboration involving Höegh Evi, Aker BP, and the Ports of Stockholm. This venture aims to establish a sustainable and efficient transport system for carbon dioxide emissions from various industrial sources in eastern Sweden.

The partnership was initiated in May 2025 as a continuation of the NICE project (Norvik Infrastructure CCS East Sweden), which previously evaluated the feasibility of a CO₂ logistics hub. Under this innovative initiative, the focus has shifted to meticulously designing the logistics node in close cooperation with project stakeholders and suppliers. The aim is to facilitate investment decisions that will span the entire value chain involved in CO₂ transport and storage.

Nils Jakob Hasle, Executive Vice President of Clean Energy at Höegh Evi, emphasized the strategic location of the Stockholm Norvik Port for capturing CO₂ emissions. He stated, “Stockholm Norvik Port is ideally positioned for CO₂ collection and is highly accessible for carrier ships that will transport the gas to its permanent storage site. We are excited to collaborate with the Ports of Stockholm, Aker BP, and nearby emitters to develop this crucial connection within the Baltic Sea’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain.”

Johan Wallén, the Marketing and Sales Manager at Ports of Stockholm, also expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. He noted, “By establishing a logistics hub for carbon dioxide at Stockholm Norvik Port, we can create an effective and sustainable transport chain for emissions from numerous potential sources in eastern Sweden and across the Baltic Sea.”

This initiative holds the promise of being a transformative project, potentially laying the groundwork for a robust, integrated, and scalable CCS network throughout Europe. Ørjan Jentoft, CCS Asset Manager at Aker BP, remarked, “This effort could significantly contribute to fulfilling the ambitious climate goals set by the EU and Sweden.”

Sweden is determined to achieve its climate objectives, which include attaining net-zero emissions by 2045. As outlined by various experts, achieving these goals will necessitate large-scale deployment of negative emissions technologies and reliable CO₂ storage solutions. A dependable logistics chain is crucial for enabling CCS across industrial sectors in eastern central Sweden.

For the past 50 years, Höegh Evi has been at the forefront of innovations in floating energy infrastructure, championing adaptable and secure solutions that meet evolving energy needs. With one of the largest fleets of floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) globally, Höegh Evi is committed to constructing the infrastructure required for energy transitions. Their ongoing projects include floating terminals for ammonia and hydrogen imports along with pioneering carbon transport and storage solutions.

With a talented workforce comprising over 900 employees worldwide, Höegh Evi continues to shape the future of energy logistics and sustainable solutions. For more information about their pioneering efforts and services, visit hoeghevi.com.
