Baden BECCS

The Baden project by Airfix and partners is Switzerland’s largest BECCS initiative, capturing around 4,300 t CO₂ per year from a biogas plant near Zurich and permanently storing it in Northern Europe. Backed by a CHF 10 million commitment from the Swiss Climate Cent Foundation and CHF 41.7 Million from Climate and Innovation Act. Developed in partnership with BKW AEK Contracting AG and Linde Gas Schweiz AG, and supported by Airfix Carbon AG and South Pole AG, the project focuses on capturing emissions from a biomass power plant in Otelfingen. Part of the captured carbon dioxide is slated for transport to a storage facility elsewhere in Europe, where it will be permanently sequestered. The remainder is intended for reuse as a climate-neutral industrial gas, replacing fossil-based carbon dioxide in industrial processes.
