Germany’s Wintershall Dea and Belgium’s Fluxys have signed an agreement to co-operate on a cross-border CO2 pipeline network between the two countries. The CO2 will be transported from Germany to the border via the planned network and then via the Fluxys network to Zeebrugge on the Belgian North Sea coast.
The German CO2 emissions will be collected from industrial clusters in the south of the country. In Belgium, the CO2 will be then stored in offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) locations where Winthershall Dea is involved.
This is not Wintershall Dea’s first CCS project in Northern Europe. The company already has a project in Denmark, the first ever to store CO2 underground, and Norway.
