Greensand
Greensand project entered its demonstration phase on March 2023, marking a milestone for the CCS industry, since it became the first operational full value chain CCS project in Europe. Following its successful demonstration phase, the full scale deployment of Greensand project has reached FID in December 2024 and is projected to enter into operations by late 2025 / early 2026, with a capacity of 0.4 Mtpa to be gradually expanded to 8 Mtpa by 2030. The CO2 in the first phase of Greensand (Future) will be captured and liquified at Danish biomethane production plants, transported to the port of Esbjerg, and then shipped by Royal Wagenborg to the Nini field in the Danish North Sea for storage 1800 meters below the seabed, in a depleted oil field in the southern North Sea. "The project was awarded support from the 2023 Innovation Fund call"
