At EnEarth, we are totally committed to winning and maintaining the good will of the communities that host our operations.   The Prinos #CO2 Storage facility, is a regionally significant infrastructure development project that will exceed 1 billion euros of investment when fully developed. The largest industrial investment in Greece, #PrinosCO2 will bring significant benefits to Europe, supporting regional #decarbonization targets. It will also create value for the local communities of the region, as part of EnEarth’s regional decarbonization hub. The hub is focused on Prinos CO2, and will include additional complementary projects such as the recently announced Direct Air Capture & Storage project with RepAir Carbon Capture.   Ahead of the launch of the official public consultation on the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment of the project, we co-organised an engagement and information meeting with the relevant regional authorities. The key characteristics of the Prinos CO2 Storage project and the benefits for the local communities were presented by Mrs. Sofia Stamataki, former Professor of the School of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens, while Mr. Kostis Nikolopoulos, Head of LDK Group in the Environment and Water Sectors, presented the parameters and all the provisions and measures that ensure the safe and effective operation of the project that have been included in the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment.

The 4th edition of the ICM Forum recently took place at Pau, France, co-hosted by the European Commission and the French Ministry of Energy. Dr Katerina Sardi and Dr. Pantelis Vogiatzis represented Energean & EnEarth at the forum. Dr Sardi presented the Prinos CO2 Storage Project in a workshop: "What level of interoperability and interconnections do we expect in the future European #CO2 network (local, regional, pan-European)?".   EnEarth has and will continue to move forwards rapidly, ensuring that all the necessary actions to secure the storage permit and the environmental license provided by the European and Greek legislations are in place.   Dr Sardi also stressed that, despite #CCS being a top priority for EU, there are still substantial challenges to be overcome. Lack of technical capacity, lack of resources to address the development of these projects, highly complex supply chains and finally procedures that are yet to be fully established. "We have to remember that there are 3 Directorates General involved for the Prinos CO2 Storage project - namely ENER, CLIMA and Competition", she emphasized. Dr Sardi concluded by flagging the need of close cooperation at all levels (chain, country, Europe) to meet 2030 targets   Sotiris Chiotakis Paddy Blewer

Exciting times for Eleftheroupolis Basketball Club   We’re proud to support this talented team as they aim for promotion to Greece’s Basketball League! Located in the charming city of Eleftheroupolis, the club has shown tremendous spirit and determination, coming closer to their goal year after year.   At Energean, we believe in empowering local communities and fostering #sportingvalues. Our sponsorship aligns with our commitment to #sustainabledevelopment and partnerships that make a difference.   Here’s to a successful 2024-2025 season.

Empowering the Next Generation of Geoscientists. We are thrilled to have sponsored the Egypt Student Field Camp (ESFC) 2024, where we helped equip young geoscientists with the skills needed to tackle the future of #sustainableenergy. This year’s camp focused on assessing the Abu Qir offshore area as a potential carbon dioxide storage site — a key step towards cleaner energy solutions. With guidance from our expert team, including Manlio Mazzarelli, Caroline Hegazi, MBA, Riccardo Rosati, and others, participants dove deep into geophysical studies, marine assessments, and evaluated the environmental impacts of #carbonstorage. Armed with cutting-edge 3D seismic data and real-world applications, these young minds delivered insightful recommendations for future development plans. We're proud to support initiatives that bridge the gap between academia and industry while advancing innovative solutions for a sustainable future. A big thank you to everyone involved in making this collaboration a success. Together, we’re shaping the future of #energy. https://lnkd.in/dPB5wSCb

Last Friday, the International Energy Agency (IEA) published a report that can make one think fondly of the “golden age of #gas”. Global gas demand is on the rise. Natural gas is and will remain for the foreseeable future, the major guarantor of global #energysecurity. The report also demonstrates the core #energy security value of domestic or at least regionally available gas production and regional infrastructure such as interconnectors. Energean has and will remain committed to rapid development of proven reserves towards production. Our interests are aligned with the sovereign and population. European #energypolicy makers might want to consider both energy security and the socio-economic value of heavy industry when considering gas / CCS related energy policy.

Nikolas Rigas, Head of Carbon Storage at EnEarth recently took the stage at two major events in Athens — The 14th Capital Link Shipping Forum and the Global CCS Institute's Capacity Building Workshop. His core messages were simple: Urgency and collaboration are vital to driving Greece’s industrial future and combating the climate crisis. At the heart of his speech was the Prinos CO2 Storage project. Prinos CO2 is crucial for decarbonizing Greece’s hard-to-abate industries. With rising CO2 emission costs and the European Commission's Net Zero Industry Act, it’s clear: we need carbon capture and storage to underwrite thousands of industrial jobs across the continent. But the clock is ticking. A solution requires a united front: *Government must accelerate policies. *Industry must invest in emissions capture. *Authorities need to streamline regulation. *Operators and transporters must be in sync. “If even one link fails, the whole chain collapses,” Nikolas warned. EnEarth has already taken action, submitting a storage permit and Environmental Impact Assessment for Prinos. Now it’s about keeping momentum, ensuring bureaucracy doesn’t become a barrier to progress. https://www.enearth.earth/ Katerina Sardi Paddy Blewer Sotiris Chiotakis

At Energean, we are committed to playing an active role in advancing sustainable #CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) technologies across Europe. Last week, our team—Dr. Paschalia Kiomourtzi (Prinos Subsurface Lead), Dr. Dr. Pantelis Vogiatzis (CCS Commercial Lead), and Miss Theodora Charalampidi (Legal Counsel)—actively participated in the European Commission’s CCS capacity-building workshop, hosted by DG Climate Action in Brussels.   This workshop, focused on the revised Guidance Documents for CCS Directive (2009/31/EC), providing a critical platform for key stakeholders to align on updated regulatory frameworks for CO₂ storage. As a company, we are deeply engaged at every level—from commercial, technical, and legal perspectives—and our team's contributions at the workshop reinforced our commitment to driving progress in the CCS community.   Our subsidiary, EnEarth, has already taken steps by applying for a storage license for the Prinos CO2 Storage project in Greece, which will be evaluated based on the revised guidelines. These efforts reflect our determination to remain at the forefront of innovative solutions, shaping the future of CCS and supporting Europe's energy transition.
