Denmark launched a “green sand” carbon capture and storage facility in the North Sea on the 18th to inject carbon dioxide into seafloor reservoirs. As the first large-scale carbon dioxide sequestration project in the European Union, the first phase of “Green Sand” is expected to store 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year. The Innix Group, which is leading the project, issued a statement on its official website saying that carbon dioxide will be stored at the bottom of the sea below Nini West, an abandoned oil field about 250 kilometers from the west coast of Denmark, as deep as 1,800 meters below the seabed. In the first phase of commercial operation, the “Green Sand” project can store up to 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year. As demand grows, the storage capacity is planned to be expanded to 4 million to 8 million tons per year by 2030.
