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 CO2 logistics chain will be essential to enable CCS (carbon capture and storage) for industries across eastern central Sweden. The Port of Stockholm Norvik could play a key role in achieving these ambitions.

Strategic partners Höegh Evi and Aker BP are working with Ports of Stockholm to establish a CO2 logistics hub at Stockholm Norvik and 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 at 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 in the 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.
