Watch live as INEOS opens the first full-scale CO₂ storage site in the EU

<p>The project, which is led by INEOS Energy alongside Harbour Energy and Nords&oslash;fonden, demonstrates that carbon capture and storage is no longer a future ambition. It is now a reality.<br />&nbsp;<br />INEOS will source CO₂ primarily from Danish biomethane plants. This enables the full CCS value chain to be established and operated using CO₂ volumes that are readily available, while capture projects across industry continue to develop and scale. Once captured, CO₂ is liquefied, delivered by truck to a dedicated CO₂ terminal at Port Esbjerg, shipped aboard Carbon Destroyer 1 - the EU's first purpose-built CO₂ carrier - and injected into the Nini West reservoir, a depleted oil field some 250 kilometres offshore, approximately 1,800 metres beneath the seabed.</p> <p>In this first commercial phase, Greensand can store up to 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually. The site has been designed to expand significantly, with the potential to store up to 4-8 million tonnes each year as demand grows.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ineos.com/link/ea4d4625441e4f38ac3abfb7f246eea1.aspx">Read full press release here</a></p> <p><a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g_GP9e0G7is" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watch on mobile</a></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/g_GP9e0G7is?si=qoDaITtlAwJmN4lB" width="500" height="315" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"></iframe></p>
