It is not yet possible to carry out the consruction works without any associaed NOx emissions. The deployment, as much as feasible, of electrically powered equipment leads to a reduction in emissions and hence nitrogen deposition in Natura 2000 areas. In the so called “appropriate assessment” for nature it is assessed that the remaining NOx-deposition will not be significant.

• Ships transporting CO2 to and from the terminal will primarily use electric propulsion.
• For ships that cannot operate electrically other emission reduction options are being investigated
• Equipment that generates significant noise will be placed indoors. Therefore, the terminal generates negligible noise.

• Plants and animals on the (industrial) site may be disturbed, and field research is conducted beforehand to prevent this.
• Pile driving may disturb marine mammals, so low-noise techniques are being investigated.
• As much emission-free equipment as possible is being used. During construction, there is limited nitrogen deposition on nature, and we expect this to have no significant effect on the environment.
