After a period of preparation, construction of the infrastructure of CO2<\/sub> transport and storage project Porthos has visibly started. Saturday 13 April saw the first drilling under the seawall on the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam.<\/p>\n

The future CO2<\/sub> storage project Porthos transports captured CO2<\/sub> through the port of Rotterdam via a compressor station to a platform about 20 kilometres offshore. From the platform, the CO2<\/sub> will be permanently stored in empty (depleted) gas fields three to four kilometres below the North Sea bed. The CO2<\/sub> will arrive at the compressor station on the Maasvlakte from the port area. From there, a pipeline will then run to the platform at sea.<\/p>\n

Casing tube<\/strong>
\nFor the drilling under the seawall, a drill with a diameter of more than 300 mm was used. This drill dug under the sea wall to just below the seabed. The casing tube through which the CO2<\/sub> pipeline will run is about 800 mm. The drill corridor will therefore be widened to a size of 1050 mm. The casing tube has a total length of 600 metres, for which 34 pipes were welded together last month. The casing tube will be pushed down the drill hole from landside. The CO2<\/sub> pipeline itself will be routed through the casing during 2025.<\/p>\n

Planning<\/strong>
\nIn the near future, various contractors commissioned by Porthos will also work on the CO2<\/sub> pipeline at other locations in the port of Rotterdam. This underground tubing system will transport captured CO2<\/sub> from companies to the compressor station. The system will cross several waterways, train tracks and roads in the port area. The CO2<\/sub> storage is scheduled to be operational in 2026.<\/p>\n

Future CO2<\/sub> storage projects<\/strong>
\nPorthos is a joint venture between EBN, Gasunie and the Port of Rotterdam Authority. Porthos plans to store about 2.5 Mtonnes of CO2<\/sub> per year for 15 years, totalling about 37 Mtonnes which will then remain permanently stored under the North Sea. Thanks to Porthos, Rotterdam’s port industry will soon reduce its CO2<\/sub> emissions by about 10%. The new onshore compressor station and transport system under construction will accommodate several future CO2<\/sub> storage projects.<\/p>\n
