Norwegian company Aker Carbon Capture announced yesterday that its loss for the final quarter of 2021 increased to $7.3 million, compared to $6.22 million in Q3.
Expenses related to participation in tenders, further development of the company’s CO2 capture technology and international growth were mentioned as reasons for the loss. At the same time revenue did increase, as multiple projects and partnerships become operational.
Denmark seems to be a key future market with an office opened there recently and a partnership with Dan-Unity CO2 for maritime carbon dioxide transport announced several days ago.
The company’s CEO Valborg Lundegaard commented on the results by saying: “Growth in the carbon capture and storage industry remains supported by record-high CO2 quota prices and a rising number of industrial companies that want to reduce their emissions and establish sustainable business models.”

The company also stated that they expect the carbon capture market across the globe to continue growing, with political developments providing a favorable wind for their initiatives in Europe, as well as opportunities down the road in the US, Canada and the UK.
The company’s stock price today has gained 7.92% at the time of writing but has lost 18.8% in the last month.
