Norvik chosen for Ports of Stockholm CO2 hub

Achieving Sweden’s climate targets, including net-zero emissions by 2045, will require large-scale deployment of negative emissions and CO2 storage.

To this end, strategic partners Höegh Evi and Aker BP are working with operator Ports of Stockholm to establish a carbon dioxide logistics hub at Norvik Port. 

It is intended to support an efficient and sustainable transport chain for CO2 from industrial emitters in eastern Sweden.

The collaboration began in May 2025 and continued work from the NICE project – Norvik Infrastructure CCS East Sweden – which had already carried out a feasibility study with several stakeholders.

The current phase focuses on detailed design of the logistics node at Stockholm Norvik Port in close dialogue with suppliers and other participants in the project, with the stated goal of enabling 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,” said Höegh Evi executive vice president clean energy Nils Jakob Hasle.

“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.”

Ports of Stockholm marketing and sales manager Johan Wallén said he welcomed the collaboration.

“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,” he said.

Aker BP CCS asset manager Ørjan Jentoft said the initiative had the potential to support a more integrated and scalable European CCS network and contribute to climate objectives set by Sweden and the European Union.
