By capturing and storing CO\u2082 from industries in Rotterdam that cannot yet decarbonise quickly, Porthos prevents these emissions from entering the atmosphere. In doing so, Porthos contributes to achieving the Netherlands\u2019 climate targets. As part of the Porthos project, CO\u2082 from industry in the Port of Rotterdam is transported to depleted gas fields beneath the North Sea, where it is permanently and safely stored.<\/p>\r\n<h2><strong>Porthos under construction<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Construction of the Porthos system is well underway. Approximately 30 kilometres of CO\u2082 pipeline have now been laid onshore. In the North Sea, more than 20 kilometres of offshore pipeline have been laid on the seabed. The transformation of the former P18-A gas production platform into a CO\u2082 injection platform is also well underway. The conversion of the gas production wells into injection wells has now been completed. The first buildings at the compressor station on the Maasvlakte have also been completed.<\/p>\r\n<h2><strong>Collaboration<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Porthos is a collaboration between the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.portofrotterdam.com\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Port of Rotterdam<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gasunie.nl\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Gasunie<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebn.nl\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">EBN<\/a>. Each of these state-owned companies contributes its own expertise to reducing CO\u2082 emissions in the Netherlands and plays an active role in the energy transition.\u00a0Within Porthos, the three organisations bring together their specific knowledge and experience. The Port of Rotterdam contributes its knowledge of the local situation and the market; Gasunie brings expertise in gas infrastructure and transport; and EBN provides specialist knowledge of the deep subsurface and offshore infrastructure.<\/p>\r\n<p>Together, they are developing important new infrastructure to support the decarbonisation of Rotterdam\u2019s industry.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Safe and permanent storage of CO\u2082 beneath the North Sea Porthos is an innovative system for transporting and permanently and safely storing CO\u2082 beneath the North Sea.
