Its role Owner
Greensand Future, known as Project Greensand, is a carbon capture and storage (CCS) developer based in Denmark. The initiative is building a full‑chain solution that links CO₂ capture, interim storage, and ship‑based transport to permanent geological storage in depleted offshore reservoirs in the Danish North Sea.
The project focuses on creating infrastructure and services for third‑party emitters, enabling safe handling, transport, injection, and long‑term monitoring of CO₂ under Danish and EU regulations. Its plans are designed to scale from early volumes to commercial capacity in the mid‑2020s.
For the chemical and other hard‑to‑abate industries, Project Greensand enables verifiable CO₂ abatement by providing contracted storage capacity and cross‑border logistics. Activities span engineering, permitting, and integration across the CCS value chain in collaboration with energy and maritime partners.
chemXplore tracks 1 project involving Project Greensand.
Greensand begins commercial offshore CO₂ storage from biogenic sources, using a dedicated terminal and the EU’s first purpose-built CO₂ carrier to inject into a depleted North Sea reservoir.
Carbon Destroyer 1, part of Project Greensand, is Europe's first offshore CO2 carrier, linking emitters to storage in the North Sea, operational by 2025-2026.
Construction starts on Denmark's first CO₂ storage terminal, aiming to establish a CCS hub in the EU, with completion expected by autumn.
Europe's first offshore CO₂ carrier, built in the Netherlands, will transport CO₂ for storage in the Danish North Sea, advancing EU's carbon capture and storage efforts.
The agreement advances cross-border CCS efforts, with storage starting 2028, highlighting international cooperation for climate goals and expanding EU's CO₂ storage capacity.
The Danish Energy Agency funds Project Greensand to support Denmark's 70% CO2 reduction by 2030. The project aims to store up to 8 million tons of CO2 annually in the North Sea by 2030.
