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.
