A carbon cemetery, where carbon is injected to prevent further warming of the atmosphere, is located on the site of an old oil field. Led by British chemical giant Ineos and German oil company Wintershall Dea, the Greensand project will store up to 8 million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2030.
Why the project is in the North Sea.
The North Sea is particularly suitable for this kind of project. Because the region already has pipelines and potential reservoirs after decades of oil and gas production.
Scale of this project.
Measured in millions of tonnes, stored volumes still make up a tiny fraction of total emissions.According to the European Environment Agency (EEA), EU Member States will produce 3.7 billion tonnes in 2020 alone. of greenhouse gases emitted.
