With the project entering into the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase, the engineering and technology group Sener has been awarded the FEED contract.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pleased to see the CO2next project firming up. Carbon Capture and Storage is recognised as required to enable the decarbonisation of the hard to abate industries and we see a clear role for such a liquid CO2 terminal in the European CO2 infrastructure,\u201d said Fulco van Geuns, project director, CO2next.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe same infrastructure may also be required to enable a carbon utilisation industry in future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Critical infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n Because the project aims to build a terminal that can be used by customers not connected to a CO2 pipeline, the terminal will be a critical piece of CO2 infrastructure which can be leveraged as part of the European Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) chain.<\/p>\n The technical feasibility and development of such CCS chain is being jointly explored with the Aramis CCS project, to which the terminal will be connected. <\/p>\n During the FEED phase, the design, the realisation schedule and the cost of the proposed CO2next terminal will be further defined. In addition, the relevant permits can be received and customers will be contracted in preparation for the Final Investment Decision (FID) currently planned for 2025.<\/p>\n The CO2next project aims to build an open access liquid CO2 terminal at the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam with jetties foreseen in the Yangtze Canal. The terminal will be able to receive and deliver liquid CO2 via vessels and will be connected to depleted gas fields in the North Sea via the Aramis trunkline for storage.<\/p>\n CO2 infrastructure as foreseen with the proposed CO2next terminal is critical in the context of the Dutch climate agreement and the European Green Deal.<\/p>\n The CO2next terminal will also contribute to CO2 reduction for industry in Northwest Europe and creating a CO2-neutral port in Rotterdam by 2050.<\/p>\n The terminal has a launch capacity of approximately 5.4 Mtpa (million tonnes per annum), and a potential to grow its capacity to approximately 15 Mtpa, depending on market demand.<\/p>\n Following the FID planned for 2025 and subject to permits being granted by relevant authorities, the CO2next terminal is currently foreseen to commence commercial operations in 2028.<\/p>\n Shell and TotalEnergies have joined the development of the CO2next project, which to date was led by Gasunie and Vopak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The CO2next project, which aims\u00a0aims to build a liquid CO2 terminal at the Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam, has entered a new project phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4390,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,8],"tags":[40,214,327,406,573,152,485,241,377],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-co2","tag-infrastructure","tag-maasvlakte","tag-marine-civils","tag-port-of-rotterdam","tag-projects","tag-shell","tag-vopak"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4389"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4389\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4391,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4389\/revisions\/4391"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4389"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
