Project Greensand: why it matters for CCUS and what Denmark did right
Report summary
On the 8th March 2023, CO2 injection was initiated at the Project Greensand pilot. During the pilot phase, CO2 captured from Belgium will be transported cross-border via ship to Denmark, where it will be stored offshore in the depleted Nini West reservoir. This is the first project globally to demonstrate the feasibility of cross-border, offshore CO2 storage across the full value chain – from capture, to transport, through to storage. In the space of three years, Denmark has installed the necessary CCUS support and policy to launch the project, placing it as a frontrunner in the global CCUS industry.
