Worley awarded feasibility study for Ørsted’s CO2 storage project in Denmark
Worley has been awarded a key feasibility study by Ørsted for the CO2 Storage Kalundborg project, a major carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiative currently under development in partnership with Equinor and Nordsøfonden.
The project aims to establish permanent onshore CO2 storage near Kalundborg, Denmark. As part of this study, Worley will deliver the initial design for a 20+ km CO2 pipeline and assess the integration of specialized CO2 handling and treatment facilities.
The captured CO2 will be sourced from various carbon capture plants across the Baltic Sea region and transported to Kalundborg via sea and road. The import terminal will be situated at the Asnæs Power Station site (ASV), where Ørsted is constructing intermediate storage and shipping infrastructure for CO2.

Being located in populated areas, the highest safety design standards will be used for this CO2 storage project. The technical risks will be carefully assessed and mitigated through robust design choices, ensuring the highest possible level of safety throughout all phases. By using international best practices and proven solutions, we aim to design a project that will incorporate the highest level of safety protecting the environment and surrounding communities.
Worley’s global team – with contributions from experts in Denmark, London, the Hague, and Mumbai – will carry out the feasibility study, combining local insight with international engineering expertise.
“This award reinforces our commitment to supporting the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors in Europe,” said Jan T. Narvestad, SVP Nordics in Worley. “CCS is a critical part of the energy transition, and this project reflects both the growing pace for carbon management in the Nordic region and Worley’s capabilities in delivering complex, multidisciplinary infrastructure solutions that enable a lower carbon future.”
This feasibility study builds on Worley’s extensive experience in CCS projects globally, as governments and industries accelerate efforts to meet net zero targets.
