The project will provide CO2 emitting industries with options to reduce their emissions and meet the targets set for them by law or via their own internal plans.
How is CO2next enabling CCS projects?
The terminal will be able to receive and deliver liquid CO2 via ships and will be connected to depleted gas fields in the North Sea via the Aramis Trunkline, offering a flexible alternative to transport and store substantial volumes of CO2 for emitters who are not connected to a pipeline.
Is CCS a good solution for meeting climate goals and sustainability in general?
In the Dutch climate agreement, the Dutch government underlines the importance of CCS in the mix of measures to achieve the climate targets. The Netherlands is still largely dependent on fossil fuels. Particularly for hard to abate industries, there are no good CO2-free alternatives in the short term. CCS enables a just transition to allow for more renewable energy in the energy mix and lower CO2 emissions in the short term.
