The Porthos CCS project in Rotterdam is progressing as the EU’s first large-scale CO2 transport and storage initiative. It aims to establish a CO2 infrastructure for transporting emissions from local industries to depleted North Sea gas fields, with a capacity of 2.5 million tonnes annually, expandable to 10 million. Key figures, including Rotterdam’s Mayor and EU officials, celebrated the project’s significance for climate targets and industry competitiveness. Porthos is part of broader efforts to develop a CO2 hub in Europe, linking to future networks and technologies for carbon management. Completion is expected in 2026.
