The Danish Energy Agency is inviting feedback on the environmental impact report for the Greensand Future CO2 storage project in the Danish North Sea.
The project partners INEOS E&P, Harbour Energy and Nordsøfonden plan to store 0.3 MMmt/year of CO2 in the decommissioned Nini oil field, 170 km west of Jutland, via the existing Nini A platform.
In total, they expect to store 2.4 MMmt from local industrial sources over an eight-year period.
An offloading system will allow CO2 to be transferred from a carrier vessel and pumped into the reservoir. The development will include a new 6-inch fixed subsea pipeline with concrete mattresses and anchors to hold it in place.
CO2 will be transported from the Port of Esbjerg to the offloading system for injection into the reservoir, which will undergo continuous monitoring, including via seismic surveys.
Danish engineering consultants Ramboll prepared the environmental impact report for operator INEOS E&P. Interested parties must submit comments on the environmental impacts in Denmark and the cross-border environmental impacts to the Danish Energy Agency by March 24.
Aker Solutions selected as preferred supplier for unnamed CCS project
In a separate development, Aker Solutions revealed that it has been named preferred supplier for an undisclosed carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.
The work scope, which includes engineering, procurement and construction, remains conditional on a final investment decision and the client obtaining government approvals.
