Greensand claims ‘world’s first’ cross-border CCS
The Danish pilot project has captured CO₂ at an Ineos facility in Belgium and shipped it to Esbjerg for injection into a depleted oilfield in the North Sea
Denmark’s largest CCS project, Greensand, led by UK-based chemicals group Ineos and German energy company Wintershall Dea, has claimed a major breakthrough with the world’s first injection into offshore storage of a cross-border shipment of CO₂. Carbon dioxide captured at an Ineos ethylene oxide facility in Antwerp, Belgium and shipped in liquid form to Esbjerg on Denmark’s west coast was this week injected into permanent storage at the depleted Nini West oilfield in the North Sea in the first full demonstration of Greensand. Greensand’s progression to a pilot of the full CCS value chain was lauded by European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen as a milestone for Europe’s green techno
