Danica Ejendomme is installing the world’s first facility to capture, store and potentially utilize CO2 from the ventilation air in an office building. This is happening in collaboration with the engineering firm Søren Jensen, which is a tenant in the property.
The facility is designed to collect and store CO2 from the building’s ventilation system. The captured CO2 can subsequently be used for various purposes such as producing green hydrogen or as a component in plant-based building materials, or simply stored underground.
Niels Fribo, Development Director at Danica Ejendomme, states:
“As one of Denmark’s largest property investors, we have a co-responsibility to support the development of future climate solutions. I’m proud that in partnership with Søren Jensen Rådgivende Ingeniørfirma, we can lead the way in capturing, storing and utilizing CO2, and help test and mature the technology so it can be commercialized and adopted more widely. Hopefully, it will become one of the levers we can pull in the future to move closer to climate-neutral properties.”
Frank Jensen, Chairman and Owner of Søren Jensen Rådgivende Ingeniører, shares this view:
“The pilot project is an important piece in developing the coming carbon economy, and we can use the experiences from our own tenancy when advising our clients and contributing to spreading the concept to many more properties.”
The facility is expected to capture 15 tons of CO2 annually and can serve as a model for future CO2 capture projects in the construction industry.
The facility is produced by Finnish company Soletair Power, a world leader in capturing, storing and utilizing CO2 from air (Direct Air Capture) via ventilation systems in buildings.
