Aramis

About Aramis

Aramis is a Netherlands-based carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure project focused on transporting CO₂ from industrial emitters to offshore storage sites in the Dutch North Sea. It is designed as an open-access system to serve hard-to-abate sectors—including chemicals, refining, and steel—by providing reliable CO₂ transport and permanent geological storage in depleted gas fields.

The project is being developed by energy companies including TotalEnergies and Shell, in collaboration with Dutch state-owned partners EBN and Gasunie. Its concept includes onshore collection and compression facilities around major industrial clusters (such as the Rotterdam area) and a new offshore trunkline connecting to multiple storage reservoirs, enabling phased capacity expansion and integration with the broader North Sea CCS value chain.

By combining repurposed gas infrastructure where feasible with new assets, Aramis aims to provide regulated third‑party access and support national and EU climate targets. It complements other regional CCS initiatives by adding scalable transport and storage options for process emissions, helping industry reduce CO₂ in a cost- and time-effective manner.
