CO₂next

The facility will enable CO₂next to connect multiple CO2 emitters and storage companies in an open access system, enabling the transport of large volumes of CO₂ in the near future. To reduce CO₂ emissions in the shorter term, it’s essential that we have the infrastructure needed to transport and store CO2 in depleted gas fields deep under the North Sea bed, meaning that this is also essential if we are to achieve the targets set in the Dutch climate agreement and the European Green Deal. Given this urgency, Gasunie is a partner in the Aramis CCS project, among other initiatives. The plan is to eventually connect the CO₂next terminal to the Aramis pipeline.

The CO₂ stored at the terminal can then also be used for other products (CO₂ utilisation).

CO₂next specifically focuses on receiving/storing, transporting and supplying liquid CO₂ by sea, waterway or other means. The study focuses on industrial companies and clusters without a direct connection to a CO₂ pipeline. This will enable them to also prevent the release of CO₂ into the atmosphere and make an important contribution to emission reduction targets.
