Amager Bakke emits CO₂ as part of the waste-to-energy process. Instead of being released into the atmosphere, these emissions are captured for permanent storage. A dedicated facility next to the plant captures and treats CO₂, preparing it for safe transportation and storage. The captured CO₂ is temporarily stored at the nearby harbor, ensuring efficient handling before transport. From the harbor, the CO₂ is loaded onto ships and transported for permanent geological storage. The CO₂ is safely injected into deep geological formations, where it remains permanently trapped. This could be either off- or onshore storage, based on the final analyses of the most technically and commercially suitable solution for the project.
