- Air Liquide plans to build, own and operate what it’s calling a ‘world-scale’ carbon capture unit at its existing hydrogen production facility in the port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
- The company plans to capture carbon dioxide from the process using its Cryocap technology before the captured gas is transported through Porthos – one of Europe’s largest CCS infrastructure.
Air Liquide has announced that it will build, own and operate a world-scale carbon capture unit in the industrial basin of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, leveraging its proprietary Cryocap™ technology.
‘World-Scale’ Carbon Capture Unit
The new unit will be installed at the Group’s hydrogen production plant located in the port of Rotterdam and will be connected to Porthos, one of Europe’s largest carbon capture and storage infrastructure aiming at significantly reducing CO₂ emissions in this large industrial basin.
Air Liquide will capture the CO₂ from its existing world-scale hydrogen plant in the port of Rotterdam, leveraging CryocapTM, a technological solution for CO₂ capture using a cryogenic process. Captured CO₂ will then be transported through the Porthos infrastructure, which is currently being developed, and permanently stored in depleted gas fields in the North Sea, approximately 20 kilometers off the coast. The carbon capture unit will be operational in 2026. Through this project, Air Liquide will be able to supply hydrogen that will be significantly decarbonized, to its long-term customers, as contracted.
The Porthos infrastructure overall will enable to reduce emissions by 2.5 million tons of CO₂ per year – equivalent to around 10% of the current Rotterdam industry CO₂ emissions. The European Union has recognised Porthos as a major cross-border infrastructure project, contributing to the achievement of energy and climate policy objectives, and has included Porthos to the list of Project of Common Interest.
