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.
