A new liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) export terminal is set to be developed at Wilhelmshaven in northern Germany, as part of a wider push to cut industrial emissions and tackle climate change.
The project, led by green energy company Tree Energy Solutions (TES), will allow captured CO2 from industries across Europe to be transported to storage sites under the North and Baltic Seas or to countries with abundant renewable energy for further use in green energy production.
Hugo Dijkgraaf, Chief Operating Officer at TES, said, “The CO2 export terminal will be a key asset for Germany’s industrial decarbonisation, connecting CO2 emitters and hard-to-abate industry clusters across Germany and Europe, initially through existing rail networks.”
He added that the facility could take carbon dioxide from several countries, including Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria and the Czech Republic, for storage or export via flexible shipping options.
