Owner Investor / Financier Operator Developer
EBN (Energie Beheer Nederland B.V.) is the Dutch state-owned energy company that manages the Netherlands’ participation in upstream oil and natural gas projects onshore and offshore. As a non-operating partner, EBN co-invests with operators across the North Sea and Dutch territory to support efficient, safe development and stewardship of subsurface resources and related infrastructure.
Aligned with the energy transition, EBN is active in carbon capture, transport and storage (CCS) and geothermal heat, and contributes to the decommissioning and re-use of offshore assets. It is a partner in major Dutch CCS initiatives such as Porthos and Aramis, aimed at capturing and storing CO2 from hard-to-abate industrial clusters, including chemicals and refining in the Rotterdam area. Through these roles, EBN helps enable secure energy supply while facilitating emissions reduction in the Netherlands and the wider North Sea region.
Also known as State Energy Company of the Netherlands, Energie Beheer Nederland B.V., and Energie Beheer Nederland.

Targets FID in 2027 and operations in 2030; recruitment started for Project Director; permits advanced but appeal pending; PCI status and EU CEF subsidy secured.
Opened a 32‑km Rotterdam hydrogen pipeline, progressed CO₂ and heat projects, boosted LNG capacity, and saw shifting gas flows with higher power‑sector demand.
Five connected CCS projects (Porthos, Aramis, CO₂next, DRC, DSC) will capture, transport and store CO₂ under the North Sea and link industry across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
Cross-border CO₂ pipeline to link North Rhine‑Westphalia industrial clusters to Dutch North Sea storage; target operation 2033 with initial Dutch sections in 2032.
Tender opened for 200 km CO2 pipeline, linking Maasvlakte to offshore storage, aiding decarbonization. Further tenders for installation and design to follow. Operational by 2030.
The public project procedure for DRC West has started, allowing stakeholders to contribute to the hydrogen and CO2 transport project between the Netherlands and Germany.
A 20-km CO2 pipeline is laid and entrenched under the North Sea, connecting Rotterdam's port to storage reservoirs over 3 km below the seabed.
Revenue up 20% due to higher tariffs; costs rise 11% from investments and staffing. Focus on energy transition, resilience, and hydrogen projects. €12B investment planned by 2030.
