Carbon management projects

The Delta Rhine Corridor project is being developed by Shell, Gasunie, OGE and other partners and aims to create an efficient CO₂ transport corridor between the Rhine-Ruhr region and the Netherlands. The aim is to efficiently capture CO₂ emissions from industrial plants and store them safely in geological formations. The corridor will make it possible to transport captured CO₂ from Germany to storage sites in the Netherlands, thereby making a significant contribution to reducing emissions and achieving climate targets.

The Porthos project is a collaboration between Gasunie, EBN and the Port of Rotterdam Authority and is the first large-scale CO₂ transport and storage solution in the Netherlands. It enables industrial companies to store their CO₂ in underground storage facilities under the North Sea. This infrastructure is intended to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions in the Rotterdam region and make an important contribution to the decarbonization of Dutch industry.

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.

The Aramis project is a collaboration between TotalEnergies, Shell, Energie Beheer Nederland (EBN) and Gasunie. Aramis aims to contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions from hardto-abate industries by developing a large-scale CO₂ transport infrastructure plan. This will allow industry to transport CO₂ and store it securely in depleted gas fields under the North Sea. The infrastructure will be designed in such a way that new CO₂ suppliers (industries that capture CO₂) and new storage facilities can be connected as needed. As a result, the Aramis CCS infrastructure can continue to grow. The maximum capacity of the Aramis project is 22 Mtpa CO₂.

The Humber H2ub project developed by Uniper aims to establish a hydrogen production center in Killingholme, UK. It combines hydrogen production with carbon capture and storage (CCS) to enable a secure and scalable supply of clean hydrogen. The project is an important building block in the decarbonization of the energy sector and will contribute to the transformation of the industrial infrastructure in the Humber Cluster.

The WHV CO₂ Corridor project connects Wilhelmshaven with the Ruhr area and Bremen, thus creating a north-western European CO₂ transport system. It supports export projects by Equinor and TES.

The DAC-2-e-Methanol will be a FOAK (first-of-a-kind) plant that will integrate Greenlyte’s proprietary DAC and hydrogen technology with methanol synthesis in a meaningful scale and modular design. It will be built and executed at Evonik’s chemical park in Marl, making Evonik the projects’ location and infrastructure provider.

To finance the project a multi million grant funding by the EU and the state of NRW has been secured via the “Produktives.NRW” innovation competition. This project marks a significant milestone in Greenlyte’s journey to scale liquid renewable energy.

Further projects of Greenlyte Carbon Technologies GmbH are DAC-2-SNG, DAC-2-SAF and Greenberry DAC.

The companies Equinor and VNG AG are working together on sustainable hydrogen production in Rostock. As part of this cooperation, hydrogen is to be produced from natural gas using CO₂ capture (CCS) and integrated into the European energy system in the long term. The aim is to promote the development of a low-carbon hydrogen economy, drive forward industrial decarbonization and at the same time further expand the close energy partnership between Germany and Norway.

In the CapTransCO₂ project, VNG and other companies in the Central German chemical triangle are investigating the feasibility of a climate-neutral Central German industry by establishing a networked CO₂ transport infrastructure for CCU/S. This infrastructure is intended to create a greenhouse gas-neutral raw material network that will support the transformation of the chemical industry in Central Germany in the long term.

The Northern Lights project, initiated by Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies, is the first cross-border CO₂ transportation and storage project of its kind. It enables companies from all over Europe to store their captured CO₂ safely in underground storage facilities off the Norwegian coast. The aim is to establish CCS as a viable solution for industrial emissions and to create a scalable infrastructure for the long-term reduction of CO₂ emissions.

Enagás and Cementos Molins are working together to develop innovative technologies to capture and transport CO₂ emissions from cement production. This initiative aims to drastically reduce CO₂ emissions in one of the most emission-intensive industrial sectors. By using new capture technologies and integrating them into existing transportation infrastructures, the project aims to pave the way for a more climate-friendly cement industry.

North Sea CO₂ Corridor. With this project, OGE plans to connect the Belgian CO₂ pipeline system from Fluxys to the Rhineland and southern Germany. The North Sea CO₂ Corridor provides access to the export and chemical hub of Antwerp and a connection to planned offshore pipelines in the North Sea, thus placing it in a trans-European context. This will open up the regions of Aachen, Cologne, the Rhineland and southern Germany.

Höegh Evi is driving innovative solutions for the transport and permanent storage of CO₂. In collaboration with Aker BP, a comprehensive CCS value chain is being created for industrial CO₂ emitters in Northern Europe. This includes floating CO₂ storage units (FCSOs) that collect and process CO₂ from various sources, CO₂ tanker shuttles for efficient transport and an offshore injection plant for safe storage under the seabed on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Our joint projects “Atlas” and “Poseidon” will be the first of their kind and provide larger and smaller emitters with access to safe and cost-effective carbon storage from 2029/2030 onwards.

Everllence is paving the way to a climate-neutral global economy – whether in industrial production, the energy sector or the maritime industry. As a partner of renewable energies, Everllence focuses on technologies to avoid emissions that are otherwise considered residual, difficult or even unavoidable.

Everllence and its partners cover the entire CO₂ value chain – from capture and transportation to utilization and storage. Their centrifugal gear compressors compress CO₂ in stages for transportation, further processing or storage. In their reactor systems, CO₂ is converted into e-methane or e-methanol using green H2. Their engines with these H₂ derivatives are also used in the maritime energy transition.”
