General – CO2 Corridor
Driven by a common vision on Carbon Capture, Transport and Storage (CCS), the CEOs of Fluxys, OGE and Wintershall Dea have signed a cooperation agreement for CO2 transport.
The three companies plan to build a cross-border pipeline to transport carbon dioxide with the objective to support the further decarbonisation of otherwise hard-to-abate industries in Germany.
Fluxys Belgium, Wintershall Dea and OGE have decided to start collaborating on the transport of CO2 from highly industrialised Southern Germany to the Belgian CO2 export hubs currently under development.
The emissions are planned to be exported for safe and permanent storage to reservoirs in the North Sea.
Fluxys and OGE will be responsible for the development of the necessary infrastructure to transport the CO2 by pipelines in Belgium and Germany, respectively, ensuring the interoperability of a cross-border system.
Wintershall Dea is to be in charge of steering customer engagement in Southern Germany, to adequately design the network.
