Swedish Government funding brings the Malmö CO₂ Hub closer to realisation
The development of a CO₂ hub in Malmö has taken an important step forward. The Swedish Energy Agency has granted 31 million SEK to Nordion Energi through the national Industriklivet programme to complete the analytical work required ahead of a final investment decision in 2027.
The funding supports the joint ambition to establish an open-source hub for CO₂ capture, transport and storage for all interested emitters in the region — a project in which Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) is a key partner – and where the port in Malmö has been identified as the optimal hub location.

Across Copenhagen, Malmö, and Visby, the cruise segment continues to show resilience and strong growth potential. The trends for 2026 reflect a clear focus on extended seasons, increased turn‑around calls, shore power and new ship deployments — reinforcing the region’s strategic importance in the European cruise market.
The 2025 cruise season in Copenhagen performed as expected, with 316 calls and almost 866,500 passengers. Additional calls were recorded due to ship repositioning from other regions, underlining Copenhagen’s role as a key Northern European hub.

Read MoreEU Funding for the development of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) in the Øresund Region
Project financing from Interreg Øresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak will support the establishment of a cross-border collaboration platform aimed at accelerating the use of renewable energy through CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) in the Øresund region, paving the way for the production of sustainable fuels.
Building on a successful pre-project focused on mapping specific areas of action, the initiative now moves from analysis to implementation with a three-year project, bringing together Danish and Swedish strengths in a Center of Excellence. The ambition is to make CCUS an integrated, cross-border element of the energy system, where captured biogenic CO₂ is combined with green hydrogen and renewable energy to produce fuels for shipping and aviation.

Read MoreCMP wins global sustainability award for cruise terminals in Copenhagen
Copenhagen has been voted winner of the award as World’s Best Cruise Terminal for Sustainability 2025 by World Cruise Awards.
At the fifth World Cruise Awards ceremony on December 6, 2025, Copenhagen was named World’s Best Cruise Terminal for Sustainability 2025. The award is a recognition of CMP’s sustainability agenda, which focuses on several aspects including environmental, social, and economic dimensions.
Over the last years, CMP has eliminated fossil fuels from terminal equipment and reduced emissions in its own operations by 76% during 2020–2024. Since this year, all berths at Langelinie and Oceankaj feature direct connections for wastewater, removing the need for barges and tanker trucks. One of Europe’s largest shore power facilities was inaugurated in June 2025 in Copenhagen, enabling ships to eliminate emissions when at berth. This would not have been possible without the cruise lines’ ambitious commitment to investing in shore power technology and willingness to connect. CMP’s terminals at Nordre Toldbod and Langelinie are located close to the city center, limiting transport needs for guests, and the terminals at Oceankaj will be even better integrated into Copenhagen’s public transport system with the planned extension of the Metro.

Read MoreOne step closer to biomethane production in the port in Malmö
In 2024, CMP entered into a partnership with Green2x focused on the design, establishment, and operation of what is expected to become one of the world’s largest biofuel plants in Norra Hamnen, Malmö. The establishment will significantly contribute to the transition to fossil-free energy while creating job opportunities. The ambition of the collaboration is to ensure a sustainable energy supply, foster local growth, and support decarbonization.
Through Green2x’s technology, energy is extracted from straw left after harvest, enabling biogas production on an entirely new scale. Straw contains a high energy content, and the technology allows for extraction with over 95 percent efficiency.
Green2x has now secured investments of more than DKK 100 million from, among others, Norway’s Equinor and the Danish state-owned investment fund Eifo. These investments make it possible to begin construction of a pilot plant for biogas production on the island of Møn in Denmark. The pilot plant will further develop Green2x’s technology and serve as the basis for designing the planned facilities in Malmö and Vordingborg. This plant is therefore the first step toward large-scale production of unsubsidized biogas in the port in Malmö.
