Denmark Selects Grenaa Harbor for Major CO2 Hub
Denmark has chosen Grenaa harbor for a significant CO2 hub, a crucial step in its goal to store up to 13 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2030. Normod Carbon, a Danish company, will build the $294 million facility, which will handle several million tonnes of CO2 per year.
The Grenaa hub was selected for its deep water access, industrial zoning, and scalability, reducing transportation and storage costs by over 25%. The project will progress in phases, with the first phase ready in the mid-2020s and full operation by 2030. The EU views CCS as vital for net-zero emissions by 2050, and Europe is now constructing key CCUS infrastructure.
The Port of Grenaa was chosen for its robust shipping and logistics infrastructure, easy access to industrial regions, and proximity to offshore CO2 storage projects in the Danish North Sea. Upon completion, the hub could play a critical role in helping Denmark and the wider EU reach their climate targets. It will serve as a central facility for collecting, handling, and shipping captured CO2 from industries across Northern Europe.
Normod Carbon's CO2 hub at the Port of Grenaa, with its strategic location and significant capacity, is poised to become a key player in Europe's drive towards net-zero emissions. Its completion could significantly boost Denmark's and the EU's efforts to meet their ambitious climate goals.
