CO₂next is a key part of the Aramis CCS initiative, aiming to enable the transport and storage of 22 million tonnes of CO₂ per year (Mtpa) in depleted gas fields under the North Sea. CO₂next will provide a solution for industrial companies that are not connected to a CO₂ pipeline but still want to offer their captured CO₂ for permanent storage.
In the first phase, the CO₂next terminal will focus on handling liquid CO₂ shipments destined for permanent storage via the Aramis trunkline. In future phases, we may expand our services to accommodate liquid CO₂ shipments for other storage locations or Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU) projects.
Looking for permanent CO2 storage?
Are you a company planning to capture CO₂ for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)?
CO₂next aims to provide access to safe and efficient CO₂ storage in depleted gas fields under the North Sea. Our terminal will be connected to the Aramis Trunkline, a crucial infrastructure that will connect the Port of Rotterdam to these storage sites.
Contracting and delivery for storage in the depleted gas fields are managed through Shippers (also known as Marketers). Shippers can offer you a complete transport and storage service, from transporting the CO2 from your facility to storing it in an empty gas field.
For more details or direct contact with the Shippers, please visit the customer page on the Aramis-CCS website.

CO2next terminal
Open access
- Multi-customer, non-discriminatory, and independently operated
- For all emitters not connected to a CO2 pipeline
- Accessible from the initial phase by barges and coasters
- In the future it may also be accessible by train
CCUS
- Connected to permanent storage fields under the North Sea via the Aramis off-shore pipeline (CCS)
- Also for temporary storage and further transport as part of future CO2 reuse infrastructure (CCU)
Capacity
- Start-up phase: storage and processing capacity of 5.4 Mtpa
- First growth phase: storage and processing capacity of 10 Mtpa, possibly also delivery by rail
- Final phase: storage and processing capacity 15 Mtpa
Operational from
- We aim for a final investment decision in 2025
- According to the plan, the terminal will be able to start-up in 2029
