🤝The CO2next project has awarded the engineering and technology group Sener the contract for front-end engineering design (FEED) services. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our mission to develop an open access liquid CO2 storage and transport terminal in Europe. 📍 Located at the Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam, the CO2next terminal will provide a crucial solution for regional industries that are not connected to a CO2 pipeline and with that, offers an alternative for the transport of captured carbon. We look forward to working closely with Sener to bring this innovative project to life and support our shared vision of a sustainable future. Stay tuned for more updates as we progress. #CO2next #Sener #FEED

CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency has now signed Grant Agreements with all the eight projects that were awarded EU Funding, as announced earlier in December 2023. This is a significant milestone for these projects to advance in their implementation and to further build an open access CO2 transport infrastructure. CO2next is one of the CO2 networks projects that was awarded CEF funding and was granted a subsidy of €33 million. CO2next, according to the commission, is seen as “𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦.

This infrastructure will play a vital role in the energy transition by facilitating decarbonization efforts. Aramis will be able to connect the CO2next terminal to the onshore CO2 collection pipeline and to the compression hub (developed by the Porthos project, also co-funded by CEF), as well as to the offshore geological storage sites located on the Dutch continental shelf.

Thanks to Deltalinqs for hosting yesterday's Community Dialogue, where nearly 70 attendees including local citizens and local companies were present to learn about current developments in the Port of Rotterdam. Several projects were represented, including CO2next. This allowed for a dialogue between the industry, the port, the local citizens and neighboring companies, which is crucial in times where energy transition in itself leads to new local opportunities and challenges. CO2next's project director Fulco van Geuns and Mart Scheepers were here to listen and share the latest about the development of a liquid CO2 terminal at the Maasvlakte. They stood side-by-side with Dutch CCS projects Porthos and Aramis CCS.

You will find us at the Community Dialogue as hosted by Deltalinqs on Tuesday June 11 – an event where local companies and local citizens (Hoek van Holland and Voorne aan Zee) are welcome to learn more about developments in the port of Rotterdam, including an update from CCS infrastructure projects Porthos Aramis CCS and CO2next.

Therefore, the terminal will be a critical piece of CO2 infrastructure which can be leveraged as part of the CCS chain. The technical feasibility and development of such CCS chain is jointly explored with the Aramis CCS project, to which the terminal is connected.   This marks another step of the Dutch ambitions for #CCS. Work is underway on large CCS projects Porthos and Aramis CCS, allowing for significant amounts of CO2 to be stored in the future.    👉Read the full news article about the new project phase and partnership here https://lnkd.in/e8HRXsu4 Vopak Gasunie Shell TotalEnergies #terminal #CO2infrastructure #CCS

🌍 EU Ramps Up Support for CO2 Transport and Storage projects The European Union is ramping up its efforts support CO2 transport and storage projects. These initiatives are crucial for meeting our climate and carbon targets and are supported by grants from the EU. Discover how several projects in France, Norway, The Netherlands and Poland, are paving the way for decarbonization, including CO2next - A liquid CO2 terminal at the Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam, connected to the Aramis project. #Sustainability #CCS #ClimateAction #EuropeanGreenDeal #Netherlands #Poland #CO2Transport #CO2Storage #GreenFuture #EUGrants

Financial Times' Malcolm Moore wrote a compelling story on the kickstart of European attempts at #CCS. In this read you find different perspectives on CCS, from cautiousness to the need to have such infrastructure in place for heavy industries that are currently hard to decarbonize. It amplifies how the Porthos project is set to proof its technology as a viable way to reduce emissions, as more CCS projects are planned. These CCS projects include Aramis CCS where CO2next's liquid CO2 terminal in the Port of #Rotterdam is crucial for building the much needed CO2 infrastructure.

🌍 Positive News for the European CCS Market! Significant development in the field of carbon capture and storage (CCS) that promises to reshape the energy landscape across Northern Europe. Five Northern European countries - the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden - have recently concluded international arrangements to facilitate the transport and storage of carbon across borders. This agreement marks a significant milestone in collective efforts to meet European Green Deal. By leveraging shared infrastructure and expertise, these countries are paving the way for the widespread adoption of CCS technologies, which play a crucial role in achieving net-zero emissions targets. This initiative underscores commitment to environmental stewardship. We look forward to collaborating with partners to accelerate the transition and jointly build the CO2 infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/eWb-kyPJ

🤝We congratulate Porthos on the commencement of their construction phase at the Tweede Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam. In the coming period, work will be carried out at multiple locations in the Port of Rotterdam as part of the Porthos project. According to the schedule, the system will be operational in 2026. A great step towards a just transition. Porthos is just the beginning of the Dutch ambitions for #CCS. Work is underway on a much larger project where CO2 from companies across the Netherlands, as well as beyond, will travel 200 kilometers into the North Sea via Rotterdam. Over sixty kilometers northwest of Den Helder, it will then be injected into an empty gas field beneath the seabed via a platform. This is the Aramis CCS project, of which CO2next (an open access liquid CO2 terminal) is an integral part. See how the CCS projects were amplified in this Dutch news item: https://lnkd.in/eC94-uuq
