Chane is working with government and business partners to create a new hub for CO2 transshipment with the purpose of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Duisburg, Germany. This hub will help German companies transport captured CO2 to subsea storage facilities in the Netherlands, or further offshore in the North Sea.

Sander van Kersbergen, a member of Chane’s business development team says: ‘In Rotterdam, we are already developing the infrastructure for storage and transshipment of CO2. Now we are also developing a collection point for CO2 in Duisburg, a kind of extension of the chain from the German hinterland towards Rotterdam.’

With this CCS hub, Chane can help companies in Germany to achieve their sustainability goals. Van Kersbergen continues: ‘Of course, we all want to reduce overall emissions, but in some sectors this is simply not yet possible. Additionally, for some processes, a less CO2-intensive alternative might never become available, such as in the production of lime and cement. That is why we are looking at setting up logistics chains to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. We are also looking at opportunities to convert that stored CO2 into useful products, such as synthetic fuels.’
