Aramis CCS

Tweede Kamerleden bezoeken projecten Porthos en Aramis   Tweede Kamerleden Joris Thijssen (Groenlinks-PvdA), Silvio Erkens (VVD), Wytske Postma (NSC) en Ilana Rooderkerk (D66) brachten met een aantal fractiemedewerkers een bezoek aan de CCS-projecten Porthos en Aramis CCS. Met de bouw van Porthos in volle gang, de voortgang van het Aramis-project en met het oog op het aanstaande Tweede Kamerdebat over CCS op 26 september 2024, was het een uitgelezen moment om beide projecten uit te leggen. Projectdirecteuren Hans Meeuwsen (Porthos) en Annemarie Manger (Aramis) gaven hun toelichting tijdens een presentatie en rondleiding langs het Porthos-tracé. Hans Meeuwsen: "Wij vinden het belangrijk dat de huidige Tweede Kamerleden een goed beeld hebben bij CCS. Hoe kan dat beter dan op locatie te laten zien wat we aan het doen zijn. Onze mensen en aannemers werken hard om Porthos te realiseren, zodat ook CCS via Porthos en Aramis tijdig een significante bijdrage kan leveren aan het behalen van de Klimaatdoelstellingen in 2030 en daarna, en aan een gezonde en schone toekomst voor de Nederlandse industrie." Annemarie Manger: "Het was een prachtige dag om nog eens aandacht te geven aan het belang van CCS en met vier Kamerleden en hun fractiemedewerkers in dialoog te gaan over de vervolgstappen in de politiek en de projectrealisatie!"

Yesterday the construction of Porthos was celebrated with those directly involved. The Mayor of Rotterdam, Ahmed Aboutaleb, the Minister of Climate Policy and Green Growth, Sophie Hermans and Deputy Director-General from the European Commission for Energy, Mechthild Wörsdörfer opened the event together with the CEOs of Porthos’ shareholders Gasunie, EBN (Energie Beheer Nederland) and the Port of Rotterdam. Minister Hermans: “CCS is crucial to meet climate targets. By building the first large-scale transport and storage system for CO2 in the Netherlands, Porthos is taking a big step. This will allow the industry to reduce emissions and keep a competitive industry here in the Netherlands. I am proud of all the parties who are making this possible.” Foundation for future CCS-projects CO2 storage within the Porthos project can bridge the time needed for industry to switch from fossil fuels to low- or zero-carbon alternatives. The construction of the Porthos onshore open access pipeline marks the start of the development of a future CO2 network in Northwest Europe. While Porthos will transport 2.5 million tonnes per year, the onshore Porthos pipeline is ready for 10 million tonnes, so it can also supply CO2 to future projects like Aramis. The compressor station is also ready for expansion. It forms the heart of the future CO2 hub, to which also CO2next can be connected. This liquid CO2 terminal will be able to receive and deliver liquid CO2 by ship for customers not connected to a pipeline. #ccs #porthos #co2next

Last Tuesday, Aramis CCS participated in #ONS24. Alongside Northern Lights JV, E.ON, and Wintershall Dea, we discussed how CO2 transport and storage infrastructure is crucial for the future of low-carbon hubs worldwide. While challenges remain, the collaborative spirit across the value chain is truly encouraging. Our Program Director, Annemarie Manger, provided an insightful update on the Aramis CCS project. Reflecting this year’s theme, ‘Imagine,’ she emphasized the importance of forward-thinking and proactive steps. A big thank you to the ONS CCUS Committee, the speakers, and the moderator for organizing this impactful session. #carboncaptureandstorage #ONS2024 #CO2 #valuechain

Aramis CCS would like to congratulate ONS celebrating 50 years as one of the world’s leading energy conferences. We are delighted to announce our participation at ONS, held in Stavanger, Norway, from August 26-29. Our Program Director, Annemarie Manger will be a featured speaker in the Net Zero Market conference session, diving into the CCS infrastructure challenges and opportunities. The Net Zero Market venue is the leading global meeting place for updates on Net Zero Markets: business opportunities, market perspectives, technology and innovation. Meet Aramis at ONS 2024! #carboncaptureandstorage #ons #co2

To meet the goals set by the Dutch Climate Agreement and the European Union’s Green Deal, it is essential to take great strides to reduce CO₂ emissions at scale to contribute to the energy transition. Capturing and storing CO₂ (Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)) underground can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. The Aramis project, a collaboration between TotalEnergies, Shell, EBN B.V. and Gasunie, aims to make a significant contribution to the energy transition through enabling the transport of CO₂ to depleted offshore gas fields under the North Sea. To explain what CO₂ capture, transport and storage entails and why it is important, our partner Gasunie had several short film clips made to explain CCS, the first of them is available now! #CCS #co2transport #carbonstorage

In collaboration with the North Sea Foundation, Wageningen University and others, Aramis has selected five nature-inclusive measures to make the offshore pipeline and platforms as nature friendly as possible. This is a great topic for the podcast "Zeebenen," which focuses on creating a sustainable future for the largest nature reserve and the fastest-changing part of the Netherlands, the North Sea. In the eighth and final episode of the podcast series, our colleague Tim Benard discussed how we engage with different stakeholders and apply Nature Inclusive Design to ensure that people, nature, and technology work together in the right balance. You can listen to the second podcast in the series that Aramis contributed to (Dutch only) here: #ccs #decarbonise #northsea #natureinclusivedesign

Today marks the start of ‘Zeebenen’ the podcast. Presenters Joris Koornneef (Mayor of Your North Sea ) and 'loco mayor' Eva den Boer talk to different stakeholders of the North Sea about creating a sustainable future for the largest nature reserve and the fastest changing part of the Netherlands, the North Sea. How do we ensure that people, nature and technology work together in the right balance, now and in the future, while we take care of the North Sea? Aramis is grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to two of the eight podcasts. Our colleagues Joep Sweyen and Tim Benard discussed the concept and ambitions of the Aramis project, what the purpose is of building a Carbon Capture and Storage system for the industry, how Aramis engages with various stakeholders and how we apply Nature Inclusive Design to make the offshore pipeline and platforms as nature friendly as possible.   You can listen to the first podcast Aramis contributed to (Dutch only) here: #ccs #decarbonise #northsea #natureinclusivedesign

The ARAMIS CCS project welcomes funding from the European Commission for decarbonisation efforts. Last week, the European Commission has granted a subsidy of €124 million to the Aramis CCS project under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) programme. This marks a crucial step forward in the development of an open-access CO2 transport infrastructure, emphasizing its importance for CCS infrastructure development in the Netherlands and its alignment with climate targets in Europe and the Netherlands for 2030. The Aramis CCS project, a collaboration between public and private partners, aims to create a large-scale CO2 storage system and reduce industrial CO2 emissions. This infrastructure will play a vital role in the energy transition by facilitating decarbonisation efforts within the European Union. Aramis will be able to connect the CO2 collection hub developed by the CO2next project, to the onshore CO2 collection pipeline and to the compression hub (developed by the Porthos project, also co-funded by CEF). #CCS #CEF #Energytransition

You will find us at the Community Dialogue as hosted by Deltalinqs on Tuesday June 11 – an event where local companies and local citizens (Hoek van Holland and Voorne aan Zee) are welcome to learn more about developments in the port of Rotterdam, including an update from CCS infrastructure projects Porthos, Aramis CCS and CO2next. #ccs #decabonization #ccsinfrastructure

Aramis CCS project congratulates CO2next with an important milestone: the project entered the so-called Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase. CO2next will play a key role in the CO2 infrastructure and supply chain that is planned to be built in the coming years.   CO2next aims to build a liquid CO2 terminal at the Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam, that can be used by customers not connected to a CO2 pipeline to ship liquid CO2. Therefore, the terminal will be a critical piece of CO2 infrastructure which can be leveraged as part of the CCS chain. The technical feasibility and development of such CCS chain is jointly explored with the Aramis CCS project, to which the terminal is connected.    This marks another significant step towards the CCS facilities needed for European decarbonization, essential for achieving its climate targets.   We look forward to jointly grow and strengthen the CO2 infrastructure.   #CO2next #CCS #decarbonization
