TitelCarbon Transport and Storage
BeschreibungKredsløb Holding A/S (on behalf of the Kredsløb Group and hereinafter referred to as "Kredsløb") hereby invites potential suppliers to participate in Kredsløb's tender of a contract for Carbon Transport and Storage. 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 Project will form a natural and necessary part of Kredsløb's ordinary activities, which includes production and distribution of electricity and district heating primarily to citizens in Aarhus Municipality. The Carbon Capture Plant will be designed and built to ensure high CO2 absorption efficiency, low energy consumption, and low environmental impact. The technology for capturing the CO2 has not been selected yet. This tender notice covers the tender procedure of a carbon transport and storage agreement (the "CTS Agreement") concerning the transport and the storage of liquefied CO2 captured at the Carbon Capture Plant at Energipark Lisbjerg (and potential other sources of CO2 in the future). The CTS Agreement will have a duration of 20 years from the Commercial Operations Date with the possibility for Kredsløb to extend the duration with an additional five (5) years. The estimated and reserved quantity of the CTS Agreement will be an annual offtake of 435,000 tonnes of liquefied CO2 (corresponding to 10,875,000 tonnes of liquefied CO2 in total under the CTS Agreement). The maximum quantity of the CTS Agreement will be an annual offtake of 535,000 tonnes of liquefied CO2, and the minimum quantity of the CTS Agreement will - as a starting point - be an annual offtake of 335,000 tonnes of liquefied CO2. Ongoing procurement processes, authority approval processes for other scopes of the Carbon Capture Project, as well as the near-future execution of the Carbon Capture Plant, future developments or changes in the Danish Energy Agency's CCS-tender, and potential changes to the regulatory framework for carbon capture, transport, and storage may affect the tender material, e.g., elements of the scope or the planned time schedule including the Commercial Operations Date. If necessary due to any such circumstances, Kredsløb will adjust the tender material and inform the tenderers thereof as soon as practically possible. The contracting entity in this tender procedure is Kredsløb Holding A/S tendering on behalf of all entities in the Kredsløb Group including entities not yet established. Please note that Kredsløb expects and reserves the right to transfer the CTS Agreement in this tender to any other entity (existing entity or SPV) within the Kredsløb Group at any time (before or after signing the CTS Agreement, e.g. following new regulation of carbon capture projects in Denmark, meaning that another Kredsløb entity (or any other entity controlled by Aarhus Municipality) may take over all rights and obligations of Kredsløb according to the CTS Agreement. The Kredsløb Group is ultimately owned by Aarhus Municipality.

Zentrale Elemente des VerfahrensThe tender will be carried out as a negotiated procedure, in accordance with article 47 of the Utilities Directive. The tender procedure will consist of different phases, namely: 1. Prequalification Phase: All economic operators are invited to submit an application for the purpose of prequalification. 2. Tender and Negotiation Phase: All applicants that are prequalified based on the prequalification criteria will be invited to tender, including submission of relevant materials, first tenders, a number of revised tenders, and a BAFO ("Best And Final Offer") and thus participation in expectably several rounds of dialogues and/or negotiations. This process is further described in the Tender Conditions. 3. Evaluation and award: Kredsløb will evaluate and award the CTS Agreement. The CTS Agreement is not divided into lots as Kredsløb deems it beneficial for the CTS Agreement to have one service provider covering the CO2 storage and potential sea transport scope to reduce the number of interfaces from the Carbon Capture Plant to the storage location, and to reduce risks in general.

Zusätzliche InformationenFor economic operators based in Denmark, Kredsløb will require an official certificate issued by the Danish Business Authority (“Serviceattest”).

After prequalification, Kredsløb will request the relevant documentation before the first submission to ensure that the prequalified applicants meet the conditions for being awarded the CTS Agreement, in order to avoid the potential of carrying out negotiations with tenderers that turn out to be non-eligible. If Kredsløb finds that one or more of the prequalified applicants is non-eligible, Kredsløb reserves the right to prequalify another applicant. The procurement procedure is subject to Regulation (EU) No. 2022/2560 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 on foreign subsidies distorting the internal market (the "Foreign Subsidies Regulation"), meaning that applicants are required to submit with their applications a notification or declaration.

If the applicant applies as a consortium, the aggregate equity of the consortium members will be taken into account. If the applicant relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities in relation to the fulfilment of this criterion, such entities must sign a declaration of support. The aggregate equity of the applicant and the supporting entities it relies on for their economic and financial capacity will be taken into account. When assessing the applicants' economic and financial capacity, Kredsløb will consider the applicants' equity beyond their fulfilment of the minimum requirement as described above. Applicants with a higher equity in the two most recently completed and audited financial years (on average) will be considered more favourably than applicants with a lower equity.

BezeichnungLicense for exploration and/or storage of CO2 in the subsoil
Beschreibung des EignungskriteriumsIt is a minimum requirement that the applicant disposes over a license for storage of CO2 in the subsoil or a license for exploration of the subsoil for storage of CO2 in the subsoil, either directly or by way of an agreement with a third-party. The minimum requirement may be fulfilled by submission of one of the following statements (the list being exhaustive): a) A statement that the applicant has a license for storage of CO2 in the subsoil; OR b) A statement that the applicant disposes over a storage for CO2 storage in the subsoil by means of agreement with a third-party; OR c) A statement that the applicant has a license for exploration of the subsoil for storage of CO2 in the subsoil; OR d) A statement that the applicant has entered into an agreement with a third-party who has a license for exploration of the subsoil for storage of CO2 in the subsoil, and this agreement gives the applicant the right to dispose over the storage that is being explored. The applicant must provide a description of how the applicant meets the requirement in the ESPD Part IV.C or otherwise in the application, e.g. by describing that the applicant has a license for storage of CO2 in the subsoil (litra (a) in the above list). If the applicant holds multiple licenses or agreements that meet the requirement, the applicant is encouraged to clearly state this and provide a description of each such license or agreement, as this will be considered in the selection process. If Kredsløb receives more than five (5) compliant applications, Kredsløb will initially attempt to perform the prequalification solely based on an overall assessment of the operational status and availability of the applicants' CO2 storage solutions. Applicants with a more established and advanced operational status will be evaluated more favourably than those with less certain or preliminary access arrangements. The selection will follow a tiered approach where applicants in a higher category will be selected before those in lower categories. The categories, ranked from highest to lowest operational status and availability, are: a) Applicants who hold a license for CO₂ storage in the subsoil, or who dispose over a storage for CO₂ storage in the subsoil by means of agreement with a third-party. These applicants will be prioritized, as they have the highest level of operational experience and independent access to operate storage facilities. b) Applicants holding a license for exploration of the subsoil for CO₂ storage in the subsoil. These applicants will only be considered if fewer than five (5) applicants qualify under category (a). c) Applicants, who have entered into an agreement with a third-party who has a license for exploration of the subsoil for storage of CO2 in the subsoil, where such agreement gives the applicant the right to dispose over the storage that is being explored. These applicants will be considered only if fewer than five (5) applicants qualify under categories (a) and (b). If, at any stage, the total number of eligible applicants exceeds five (5), Kredsløb will perform a selection within that category based on an assessment of the certainty and operational status demonstrated. It will be considered positively if an applicant holds multiple licenses or agreements, providing broader and more certain access to CO₂ storage facilities. If it is not possible to identify the best suited applicant(s) within that category, i.e. because two or more applicants are evaluated equally favourable, Kredsløb will perform a final selection between those applicants based on their economic and financial capacity.
