CO2next

🌍 This week, CO2next joined 𝗖𝗖(𝗨)𝗦 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 — the new CCUS-focused programme within the World Hydrogen Summit 2026. 🤝 Five Dutch CCS projects showcased their collaboration at a joint 𝗖𝗖𝗦 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 booth: Porthos, Aramis CCS, 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 𝗥𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗼𝗿, 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗢₂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and CO2next. Together, we highlighted how the Netherlands is building the infrastructure needed to enable large-scale carbon capture and storage. 🔗 By 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 emitters, ports and offshore storage sites — via 𝗽𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 and, in the case of CO2next, via 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 and potentially 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹 — these projects are helping shape an 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗢₂ 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 that supports both national and cross-border climate goals. It was great meeting with partners, industry peers and stakeholders to discuss the future of CO₂ infrastructure. Thanks to everyone who joined the conversation during CC(U)S World! #CO2next #CCUSWorld #CCS #CCUS #CarbonCapture #EnergyTransition #CO2Infrastructure #NetZero

How is CO₂next helping to build a cross-border CO₂ network? At CO2next, we are proud to work alongside other Dutch CO₂-infrastructure projects to shape a fully integrated network that enables large-scale CCS — not just for the Netherlands, but for all of Europe. That this network is no longer just a plan is demonstrated by Porthos, which is now well under construction. The development of pipelines, compression facilities, and offshore storage infrastructure shows that the Dutch CCS infrastructure is taking concrete shape. The visible progress at Porthos reinforces confidence that a robust, safe, and cross-border CO₂ network will indeed be realized. On 2 and 3 December, we will join Porthos, Aramis CCS, #DeltaRhineCorridor and #DeltaScheldeCO2nnection to demonstrate how our collaboration is laying the foundation for a smart, safe and affordable CO₂ network. A network that connects industries, ports and storage locations across borders, helping Europe make meaningful climate progress today. The PCI Energy Days are the leading European Union platform where Projects of Common Interest present how they support the EU’s energy and climate ambitions. Hosted by the European Commission and delivered by CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency– European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, the event brings together policymakers, stakeholders and industry representatives to shape the (European) energy infrastructure of the future. Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) is essential in this transition. It reduces industrial CO₂ emissions in sectors where alternatives are not yet feasible — keeping our industries competitive while accelerating the path to net zero. The PCI status granted to our joint projects underscores their strategic importance for a cross-border, reliable and future-proof energy infrastructure. These PCI projects are made possible with financial support from the European Union. Want to learn more about how the Netherlands — and CO2next — are contributing to a resilient European CO₂ network? Meet us on 2 and 3 December at the PCI Energy Days in Brussels — in the PCI Garden. #CO2next #CCS #PCIdaysEU #CEFEnergy #Porthos #Aramis #DeltaRhineCorridor #DeltaScheldeCO2nnection #Collaboration #Sustainability #EnergyTransition

Great to see our colleague Nick van den Boogaart represented at the Enlit Europe Summit in Bilbao! The sessions moderated by Alberto Sánchez Miravalles once again highlighted the essential role of CCUS in accelerating Europe’s decarbonisation ambitions. The insights shared during these sessions underline the importance of building a cross-border CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure that is safe, scalable and future-proof — essential for helping industries cut their CO₂ emissions, and an area where CO2next can play an important role. It was great to have Nick contribute to this important dialogue alongside experts from across the sector. Together, we are working on the solutions needed to drive Europe toward Net Zero! #CO2next | #CCUS | #CarbonCapture | #NetZero | #EnergyTransition | #decarbonisation | #Carboninfrastructure

Great to be part of the integrated CCS network! 🌍 Curious how CCS projects are working together to shape a low-carbon future? Explore Gasunie’s interactive map to see how projects – including CO2next – connect to form an integrated CO₂ transport system across borders. Each project plays its part. CO₂next enables industry to deliver CO₂ by ship, acting as a flexible link between industry, storage under the North Sea, and future CO₂ reuse. This makes CCS – and potentially CCU – accessible to a wider range of industries, including those without a viable route towards a pipeline connection. 💪 Together, we are building a climate-neutral and future-proof industry in Europe.
