Inter Terminals Sweden and Port of Södertälje Collaborate on CO2 Infrastructure Project

Inter Terminals Sweden (ITS), a leading bulk liquid storage provider, has joined forces with the Port of Södertälje to initiate a groundbreaking project aimed at establishing a flexible infrastructure for captured CO2 in the Mälardalen region.

The project, in collaboration with the port, will kick off with a front-end engineering design (FEED) and permitting process to enable the intermediate storage of regionally captured CO2. The stored CO2 will then be loaded onto vessels for further transport to permanent storage or utilization.

This scalable project concept supports a phased implementation and is adaptable to the evolving carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) market in the region over the coming years.

ITS is aiming to complete and launch the facility by 2030, marking a significant milestone for the company as a key player in the emerging CO2-logistics market in Mälardalen.

Managing Director of ITS, Johan Zettergren, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, “The objective is to offer an open and accessible solution for all regional companies aiming to capture CO2 and seeking efficient storage or reuse options.”

CEO of Södertälje Port, Måns Frostell, highlighted the project’s importance in strengthening the port’s position as a hub for sustainable freight logistics and future infrastructure for energy management in the Stockholm region.

Additionally, a feasibility study of the Norvik Infrastructure CCS East Sweden (NICE project) identified Stockholm Norvik Port as a potential logistics node for captured CO2 in 2024. The report concluded that establishing a logistics node at Stockholm Norvik Port could create an efficient and sustainable transport chain for CO2 from various potential emitters in East Sweden.
