Transport and Storage of CO2

This tender concerns Kredsløb Holding A/S' (on behalf of the Kredsløb Group and hereinafter referred to as "Kredsløb") tender of a framework agreement for CO2 Transport and Storage from Kredsløb's facilities in Lisbjerg in Denmark. To support Aarhus City Council's goal to lead the way in the green transition and create a CO2 neutral society by 2030, Kredsløb is planning to establish a Carbon Capture Plant to capture the flue gas from the entire Lisbjerg plant, consisting of four separate plants, three which are used for the processing of collected waste from (mainly) Aarhus, and one which is used for the processing of biomass (mostly straw). The Carbon Capture Plant is expected to capture approximately 335,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. The tender procedure was first announced on 23 February 2024 (published under tender notice 112405-2024). However, the tender procedure was cancelled on 26 April 2024 as all applications received were found to be non-compliant and thus rejected. On the basis of the tender procedure, Kredsløb decided to initiate a negotiated procedure without prior call for competition in accordance with article 50(1)(a) of the Utilities Directive.
