ARGO has won the tender for the treatment of residual waste in Allerød, Hørsholm and Rudersdal municipalities. The company has thus entered into agreements for residual waste treatment with a total of 16 municipalities.
The agreements strengthen ARGO's position as one of Zealand's key players in residual waste treatment and at the same time expand its cooperation with municipalities outside the group of owners. The agreements are the result of a public tender process and mean that residual waste from the three municipalities will be utilized for energy at ARGO's waste-to-energy plant in Roskilde.
- "We are naturally pleased with the new collaboration with Allerød, Hørsholm and Rudersdal. We see it as a recognition that ARGO delivers solutions that meet economic and environmental considerations, and we look forward to living up to the trust the municipalities show us, says Trine Lindegaard Holmberg, CEO of ARGO.
ARGO has already won tenders for residual waste treatment in all of the company's nine owner municipalities: Greve, Holbæk, Kalundborg, Køge, Lejre, Odsherred, Roskilde, Solrød and Stevns. In addition, seven other municipalities have chosen ARGO as their partner - most recently Allerød, Hørsholm and Rudersdal and previously Fredensborg, Helsingør, Slagelse and Sorø.
With residual waste treatment for a total of 16 municipalities and approximately 644,000 citizens, the overall picture shows a strong position in the market as a reliable and competitive player. It is also a clear recognition of the company's efforts to deliver efficient and environmentally responsible solutions.
All new agreements take effect on July 1, 2025 and run for up to four years.
The residual waste from the 16 municipalities will in future be utilized at ARGO's waste-to-energy plant in Roskilde, where it is converted into electricity and district heating. The plant is among the most modern and energy-efficient in Denmark - and ARGO has just been prequalified by the Danish Energy Agency to apply for state aid for the establishment of carbon capture.
The company's carbon capture project has the potential to capture up to 350,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year and will - if implemented - contribute significantly to the green transition and national climate goals.
- The prequalification is an important recognition of our project and strengthens our ambition to bring carbon capture to Roskilde and contribute to a more climate-neutral waste sector, says Trine Lindegaard Holmberg, CEO of ARGO.
The next major milestone for ARGO's carbon capture project is the submission of the binding application by the end of 2025. The Danish Energy Agency expects to award contracts in April 2026.
