Meet the Team: Peter Kriklywi, Technical Director EU & Biomethane

Carbon removal isn’t just an idea, it’s something we’re making happen every day. And few people bring more hands-on experience to that mission than Peter Kriklywi, our Technical Director for EU & Biomethane.

So, who are you?

I’m Peter. I’ve spent over 30 years working with carbon capture equipment, leading two of the top companies in the space, working with companies like Air Liquide, as well as breweries, distilleries etc. I’m Danish, based in Middelfart (yes, it’s a real place!), and apart from a few years in China, this is home.

Something people don’t know about you?

I just got my motorcycle license, and a bike. It’s always good to be learning new skills and having fun even though you are not 20 anymore!

Why The Carbon Removers?

I first met Ed and Richard when I was CEO of AirCo Process Technology, one of the top equipment suppliers for CO₂ capture. It was a no-brainer to team up. Scandinavia is central to this sector, and we’ve got very complementary skills. On a personal note, I get on really well with the team. Work should be fun 80% of the time, and here, it is.

What kind of impact can The Carbon Removers have in five years?

We’re proving that this model works: capture biogenic CO₂, store it permanently, and issue high-integrity carbon credits. We’re already doing it. The company started in Scotland, where permanent storage options are limited today,  so we’re expanding in Denmark, which is showing what’s possible. Thanks to partners like INEOS, we have access to significant storage under the seabed in the Danish North Sea.

We hope the UK is paying attention. It has the same geology, the same potential, there’s a huge opportunity to seize, as Denmark is showing today. Companies like INEOS are already proving that permanent storage under the North Sea can work from a business perspective. The development is driven by private investment, not massive public subsidies. If the UK unlocks its own storage potential in the North Sea, it could kickstart the CCS sector into a very big business with a real impact on Net Zero.  There is nothing stopping us from doing this.
