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.  This comprises the preferred option for the Aramis initiative, including the CO2next project.

The adoption of the preferred option serves as the foundation for the spatial planning decision and the permits.
