How to decarbonise the industry? Air Liquide walks the talk: Here is another example how Air Liquide takes action and brings solutions to reduce CO2 emissions. A very warm thank you to all the teams involved!

Air Liquide is set to construct a world-scale carbon capture unit in Rotterdam's industrial basin, using its innovative Cryocap™ technology. This unit, integral to the group’s hydrogen production plant in the port of Rotterdam, will capture CO2 emissions and connect to Porthos, Europe's extensive carbon capture and storage infrastructure. The project, operational by 2026, aligns with the EU's climate goals and is a significant stride in reducing industrial CO2 emissions. Emilie Mouren-Renouard of Air Liquide highlights this as a crucial step towards decarbonizing a major European industrial hub, reinforcing the company's commitment to achieving a 33% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2035. #carboncapture #carbon #climate #netherlands #france #rotterdam https://lnkd.in/ezTMbYQH

The new unit will be installed at the Group’s hydrogen production plant located in the port of Rotterdam and will be connected to Porthos, one of Europe’s largest carbon capture and storage (#CCS) infrastructure aiming at significantly reducing CO₂ emissions in this large industrial basin.   Air Liquide will capture the CO₂ from its existing world-scale hydrogen plant in the Port of Rotterdam, leveraging CryocapTM, a technological solution for CO₂ capture using a cryogenic process. Captured CO₂ will then be transported through the Porthos infrastructure, which is currently being developed, and permanently stored in depleted gas fields in the North Sea, approximately 20 kilometers off the coast. The carbon capture unit will be operational in 2026. Through this project, Air Liquide will be able to supply hydrogen that will be significantly decarbonized, to its long-term customers, as contracted.   #carboncapture #technology #project #hydrogen #production #supply #cryogenicprocess #CO₂ #Rotterdam #Netherlands #Cryocap™ #Europe #infrastructure #NorthSea   The link:  https://lnkd.in/dxFbFi3H

Seatrium recently announced that they have now secured the world’s first full-scale, turnkey Carbon Capture and Storage retrofit. The project is expected to begin later this year and it will operate through the use of amine cleaning technology, which will capture 70% of the Co2 that is within the exhaust gas from the main engine. This will involve the whole value chain that is involved in handling Co2 and this includes liquefication processes, plus storing carbon dioxide whilst onboard the vessel. The article below talks about the work Seatrium will be doing on a specific piece of equipment. The project will focus on enabling carbon capture technology to be fully operational, whilst it is required to be upon the vessel.

Our teams are developing and delivering innovative and competitive solutions for the industry and the energy transition… Another example is the investment of a world-scale carbon capture unit, leveraging our Cryocap™ technology, in the industrial basin of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, one of Europe’s largest industrial basins. The new unit, operational in 2026, will be installed at the Group’s hydrogen production plant located in the port of Rotterdam and will be connected to Porthos, one of Europe’s largest carbon capture and storage infrastructure aiming at significantly reducing CO₂ emissions in this large industrial basin. The Cryocap™ technology will  enable the capture of the carbon dioxide emitted from the existing hydrogen plant in the port of Rotterdam, thanks to a cryogenic process that liquefies gas. The CO₂ will then be transported through the Porthos infrastructure, which is currently being developed, and permanently stored in depleted gas fields in the North Sea, approximately 20 kilometers off the coast. Overall, the Porthos infrastructure will enable to reduce emissions by 2.5 million tons of CO₂ per year – equivalent to around 10% of the current Rotterdam industry CO₂ emissions. #cryocap #energytransition #decarbonization

🚀 Exciting Announcement! Launch of EU’s First Onshore Carbon Dioxide Removal Project in #France! 🌍 RepAir Carbon Capture US Inc. is proud to partner with Cquestra to develop a pioneering onshore Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACS) project in Grandpuits, near #Paris. Why is this project a game-changer? 🌱 First-of-its-Kind: It’s the EU’s first onshore Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) project, eliminating the need for costly midstream and offshore infrastructure. ⚡ Innovative Technology: Relying solely on electricity, RepAir’s cutting-edge, heat-free, and ultra-modular electrochemical technology, the project will reduce energy consumption by 70% compared to conventional Direct Air Capture solutions. 🏆Ambitious Goals: Targeting the removal of 100,000 tons of CO2 annually by 2030, with plans to scale up to megatons by 2035—this project is crucial for significantly reducing atmospheric CO2 levels. 👷 Job Creation & Local Manufacturing: This collaboration explores opportunities for local manufacturing in Île-de-France, creating new green jobs. This initiative is in perfect alignment with France’s ambitious CCS strategy and is poised to capitalize on European funding opportunities, including the Innovation Fund—where no Direct Air Capture project has been funded yet. Together, we’re taking bold steps towards a more sustainable future. 🌍💡 Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/dfhCrM74 cc: Jean-Philippe Hiegel, Walid Sinno #Sustainability #CarbonCapture #DirectAirCapture #GreenJobs #EnergyTransition #DAC
