CO₂next aims to contribute to reducing the amount of CO₂ released into the atmosphere. We plan to achieve this by constructing an open-access terminal for liquid CO₂ at the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam, as part of new CO₂ infrastructure. This terminal provides industrial CO₂ emitters the opportunity to supply CO₂ for permanent storage in depleted gas fields beneath the North Sea (CCS) or (in the future) for the reuse of CO₂ (CCU). This initiative supports the realisation of Dutch climate goals and the European Green Deal. CO₂next is being developed by Gasunie, Vopak, Shell and TotalEnergies.

CO2next is pleased to announce the launch of a Call for Interest for the expansion of the liquid CO2next terminal with a railcar unloading facility. This process serves as a formal invitation for all market participants to express their interest in the delivery of CO2 by rail. Expressions of interest can be submitted until April 2, 2026. All details can be found at www.co2next.nl/call-for-interest.

As 2025 comes to a close, CO2next looks back on a year of progress and ahead to key milestones in 2026. While CCS projects are ramping up across Europe and the regulatory framework is becoming clearer – procedures, regulations, and costs remain important considerations. In this dynamic landscape, CO2next has further strengthened its foundation toward realization.
