City of Stockholm commits to purchase 750,000 tonnes of carbon removal

The City of Stockholm has committed to purchase 750,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) over 15 years from Stockholm Exergi's new Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) facility. This commitment, totalling 50,000 tonnes annually, positions Stockholm as the world's fifth-largest buyer of permanent carbon removal. The captured CO₂ will be stored at the Northern Lights Facility in Norway. This public procurement aims to provide a demand signal for the nascent CDR market and aligns with Stockholm's climate strategy to remove more CO₂ than it emits by 2030.
