Carbon Capture and Storage at Yara Sluiskil: Europe’s largest industrial CCS project
Yara International plant in Sluiskil, the Netherlands, project is the largest operational CCS project in Europe, and the world’s first cross-border CO₂ capture, transport and storage value chain at industrial scale.
With the start of CCS operations at Sluiskil, we are demonstrating that large-scale decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors is possible. This is not a pilot; it is industrial-scale climate action, proving that CCS can deliver immediate and substantial emissions reductions today.
The project at a glance
The project at a glance
- The world’s first cross border CO2 project in operation
- Yara Sluiskil will capture up to 800,000 tons of CO2 from its ammonia production each year
- Yara Sluiskil is expanding its CO2 liquification capacity to liquify 12 million tons of CO2 over the next 15 years
- Yara will store the liquified CO2 temporarily in 7 storage tanks on-site in Sluiskil.
- The CO2 in the storage tanks will be transferred to the Northern Lights vessels twice a week
- Northern Lights will ship the liquified carbon dioxide from Yara Sluiskil in the Netherlands to the west coast (Øygarden) in Norway
- The liquefied CO2 will be transferred to onshore storage tanks at Øygarden, prior to injection into an offshore saline aquifer via 120 km pipeline for permanent and safe storage, 2,600 meters below the seabed
- Operations will start in 2026 and continue for minimum 15 years
