2<\/sub> carrier will play a pivotal role for Greensand in establishing and developing the first operational CO2 storage facility in the EU aimed at mitigating climate change\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\nThe ship itself is designed to meet the highest standards for safety and environmental performance and is tailored to the specific technical requirements of CO2 transport, including onboard cooling and pressure systems. With the completion of the ship\u2019s hull, the vessel enters the next phase of construction, which includes retrofitting, commissioning, testing, and sea trials.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This milestone follows a series of major developments in the Greensand project. In December 2024, INEOS and its partners Harbour Energy and Nords\u00f8fonden made the Final Investment Decision (FID) to move ahead with full-scale CO2 storage operations in the Nini Field.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With the plan to initiate safe sand permanent CO2 storage in the Nini Field by late 2025\/early 2026, Greensand is expected to become the EU\u2019s first operational CO2 storage facility aimed at mitigating climate change. This investment decision has paved the way for expected investments exceeding 1 billion DKK across the Greensand CCS value chain to scale up storage capacity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The dedicated carrier is central to fulfilling this ambition, enabling safe, efficient, and scalable transport of captured CO2 from across Europe to the Danish storage site.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Construction has progressed steadily with several key sections of the vessel completed and assembled. Earlier this year, the successful and safe transport of the aft ship marked another significant step forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Project Greensand aims to begin regular offshore CO2 injection by the end of 2025 or early 2026. The project\u2019s initial phase targets the permanent storage of 400,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, with the potential to scale up to 8 million tonnes per year by 2030. The arrival of the new CO2 carrier will be vital in ensuring this ambition becomes a reality \u2013 not only for Denmark but for Europe\u2019s broader climate goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
