Carbon Herald just published BioCirc Launches World’s Largest BECCS Facility In Denmark.
Carbon Herald reports that Danish biogas developer BioCirc has inaugurated a bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) facility in Denmark that the company claims is the largest of its kind globally. The site ties carbon capture to BioCirc’s biogas production, allowing CO2 generated during biogas upgrading to be captured and routed to permanent storage. The launch positions Denmark as an early hub for biogenic CO2 removal at commercial scale, building on the country’s existing CCS infrastructure and North Sea storage projects. Further details on capture volumes, storage offtake partners, and project economics are covered in the full article.
Our take (Heads-up): Biogas upgrading is one of the cheaper places to capture CO2 because the stream is already concentrated, so a large BECCS plant here is plausible. The harder question is verification of permanence and how the tonnes are credited - whether they show up as removals, avoidance, or both. Worth tracking the registry treatment before assuming this is net-negative at scale.
