Porthos (legal entity: CO2 TransPorts) is a Dutch carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure project centered on the Port of Rotterdam. It is a joint venture of EBN, Gasunie and the Port of Rotterdam Authority, set up to provide shared CO2 transport and offshore storage services for industry.
The system aggregates CO2 from industrial emitters in the Rotterdam area, compresses it at a facility on the Maasvlakte, and transports it via an offshore pipeline to depleted gas reservoirs beneath the Dutch North Sea for permanent geological storage. The initial phase is designed for around 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year, with launch customers including Air Liquide, Air Products, ExxonMobil and Shell. Porthos focuses on transport and storage; capture facilities are developed by participating emitters. First operations are targeted for the mid‑2020s.
