Discover the cross-border CO₂ transport system

Aramis develops new CO₂ infrastructure from land to offshore storage sites deep beneath the North Sea. It’s a joint initiative by Gasunie, EBN, Shell, and TotalEnergies. The system can transport 22 million tons of CO₂ annually and is scalable for future suppliers. Final investment decision is expected in 2026/2027.

Porthos, a collaboration between Gasunie, EBN and Port of Rotterdam, is the EU’s first large-scale CO₂ storage project. Starting in 2026, it will store 2.5 million tons of CO₂ annually from Rotterdam’s industry in depleted gas fields deep beneath the North Sea. The infrastructure is designed for future expansion, with a total capacity of 37 million tons.

CO₂next is an open-access terminal for liquid CO₂ at Rotterdam’s Maasvlakte. CO₂ can be delivered by ship—and possibly by train—and stored via Aramis infrastructure. This enables industries without pipeline access to use offshore CO₂ storage. The project is a collaboration between Gasunie, Vopak, Shell, and TotalEnergies.

The Delta Rhine Corridor connects the Netherlands to Germany via underground pipelines for hydrogen and CO₂. It supports industrial decarbonization and strengthens the strategic position of Northwest Europe. The CO₂-route passes through Moerdijk to Venlo. Commissioning of the CO₂ pipeline is expected between 2032 and 2033.

This cross-border infrastructure links industries in Southwest Netherlands and Belgium to offshore CO₂ storage. Gasunie will develop the infrastructure in the Netherlands.  Starting in 2031, it can transport around 10 million tons of CO₂ annually, helping reduce regional industrial emissions.

The Northern CCS Corridor aims to create a CO₂ hub in the north of the Netherlands. It supports CO₂ capture, reuse, and transport for industry and energy sectors. Research is underway to assess infrastructure needs and regional collaboration opportunities. It’s part of broader national CCS development efforts.

We are investigating whether a future CO₂ route to England is feasible. This connection could transport CO₂ to British storage fields beneath the North Sea. The project is in an assessment phase and is part of broader plans for international CO₂ networks and cross-border collaboration.
