The First Carbon Storage event to celebrate the achievement was held in Esbjerg, Denmark today and hosted by INEOS and Wintershall Dea, lead partners in the Project Greensand consortium.īy 2030, Project Greensand aims to store up to 8 million tonnes of CO2 per year in this area while continuing to make significant contributions to our understanding and growth of carbon storage technology. This is what Europe’s competitive sustainability is all about.” That we can grow our industry through innovation and competition, and at the same time, remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere, through ingenuity and cooperation. The first ever full value chain, for carbon capture and storage in Europe. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission said, “This is a big moment for Europe’s green transition, and for our clean tech industry. Project Greensand, shows for the first time the feasibility of CO2 storage from being captured at an INEOS Oxide site in Belgium, to being transported cross-border and finally safely and permanently stored in the INEOS-operated Nini field in the Danish North Sea. Today, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark officially initiated a world first with the safe injection of carbon dioxide from Belgium into a depleted oil field in the Danish North Sea. It has a crucial role to play in reaching net zero in Denmark, Europe and beyond.” Hugo Dijkgraaf, Board Member and Chief Technology Officer at Wintershall Dea says: “Project Greensand proves that Carbon Capture and Storage is a viable way to permanently store CO2 emissions under the North Sea.It is the first time that carbon dioxide has been successfully captured, transported cross-border and safely stored offshore anywhere in the world.” Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a Project Greensand backer and founder and chairman of INEOS, says, “This is a breakthrough for Carbon Capture and Storage.Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission said, “This is a big moment for Europe’s green transition, and for our cleantech industry.” The project, aims to safely capture and permanently store up to 8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year, 40% of Denmark’s total emission reduction target.INEOS and their partner Wintershall Dea head the consortium of 23 organisations.A world first, Project Greensand, shows that Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can work after carbon dioxide (CO2) from Belgium is successfully captured, transported and stored under the Danish North Sea.
