Porthos progress, CCSH
Porthos is important for achieving the Netherlands’ 2030 climate goals. The storage of CO2 in empty gas fields beneath the North Sea reduces CO2 emissions by 2.5 Mtonnes a year.
The nitrogen case has caused delays to the project. Once the necessary permits are irrevocable, Porthos will take a Final Investment Decision (FID) and start construction of the infrastructure. Porthos is expected to be operational from 2026. This will make Porthos the first large-scale CO2 transport and storage project in the Netherlands.
