CO2next Information

Gasunie, Vopak, Shell and TotalEnergies are dedicated to developing an open access terminal for liquid CO₂ on the Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Such infrastructures are important in the context of the Dutch Climate Agreement and the European Green Deal. The open access hub terminal will be able to receive and deliver liquid CO₂ via ships (and potentially railcars in the future) and will be connected to the depleted gas fields in the North Sea through the Aramis trunkline, a Dutch CCS project. This will make the necessary infrastructure available to all market parties, including those that do not have a direct connection to a CO₂ pipeline. CO₂next is co-funded by the European Union under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) – Energy.
