Port of Antwerp wants to reduce carbon dioxide emissions
Antwerp is taking a further step towards a lower-emission port: eight players in the port area, including the port itself, Air Liquide, BASF, Borealis, INEOS, ExxonMobil, Fluxys and Total, have signed a cooperation agreement to investigate the possible development of a Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) infrastructure.
The consortium will conduct a joint study on the economic and technical feasibility of such systems. CCUS applications could make an important contribution to achieving climate targets.
As the largest energy and chemical cluster in Europe, the port of Antwerp is a suitable location to promote cooperation between companies and solutions for carbon dioxide reduction. In order to put this into practice, a feasibility study for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) facilities in the port will be carried out as part of the cooperation agreement. These facilities are to follow the principle of "open access" and would therefore be available to the entire industry in the port. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and the use of carbon dioxide as a raw material for various industrial applications (carbon capture and utilization, CCU) are seen as important instruments for the transition to a lower-emission port. If the proposals prove to be technically and economically feasible, the development of such facilities can lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2030.
