To meet the goals set by the Dutch Climate Agreement and the European Union’s Green Deal, it is essential to take great step s to reduce CO₂ emissions at scale to contribute to the energy transition. The CO2next project, a partnership between Gasunie, Vopak, Shell and TotalEnergies, aims to make a significant contribution to the energy transition by enabling reduction of CO₂ emissions for the hard-to-abate industries. This is intended to be achieved through the realization of a large-scale CO2 infrastructure, of which the liquid CO2 terminal is a crucial component. This will enable the industrial sector to transport CO2 and store it in empty gas fields under the North Sea through CCS projects such as Aramis.

Together with Aramis we’ve reached a next step in our process. The first batch of draft permits and the associated Environmental Assessment report (EIA) are now accessible to the general public on the RVO website. From September 13th to October 24th, 2024 any interested person or party may submit a point of view.

Another step has been taken with the determination of the preferred option (Voorkeursalternatief or VKA) by the Dutch Minister of Climate and Energy, as published February 9. The preferred option is an outline design for the Aramis initiative’s infrastructure that optimally considers all public interests along with a range of preconditions, such as safety, technical feasibility, environmental impact, future viability, costs, and spatial integration.
