The completion of Europe’s first offshore CO₂ carrier marks a pivotal milestone in the energy transition and the advancement of carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure within Europe.
Mads Gade, CEO of INEOS Energy Europe, says:
“The completion of all sections of the CO2 vessel is a giant step forward for transportation of CO2 in the EU. This ship is essential to our ambition of establishing the first full-scale CO₂ storage facility in the EU. With the carrier now entering its next construction phase, Greensand are getting closer to completing Europe’s first full CCS value chain.”
Built at Royal Niestern Sander shipyard in the Netherlands she is a cornerstone in Greensand’s mission to deliver EU’s first full-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain.
Starting in 2040, the European Commission estimates that the EU will need to capture and permanently store approximately 250 million tonnes of CO2 each year to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
Tomorrow INEOS Energy and Royal Wagenborg will launch the dedicated CO2 carrier enabling carbon capture storage across Europe.
