The purpose of the collaboration is to identify integration requirements and define the next steps towards an integrated CO₂ transport and storage system, with the three companies representing different segments of the CO₂ value chain.

Jorden van Foreest, Group Business Development Director at Evos, said: “We see huge potential in developing our Amsterdam and Hamburg terminals as CO₂ export hubs. Both are strategically located, and the existing direct pipeline connection to the Petrogas sink from our Amsterdam terminal, together with the ability to handle large numbers of railcars in Hamburg, allows us to offer unique export connectivity to the market. Collaborating with two counterparts who each fulfil a critical role in the CO₂ value chain is key to realising this strategy, and we look forward to taking this project into the next phase.”

SEFE is a leading European energy supplier to industrial customers and actively supports their decarbonisation efforts. The company is exploring its role as a potential CO₂ management partner by helping to integrate the carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain, from CO₂ aggregation and transportation to permanent storage in suitable geological formations.

Petrogas E&P, through its subsidiary Abeona CCS Storage B.V., is developing a CO₂ transport and storage project in the depleted Q1 oil fields in the Dutch North Sea (the Abeona project).

The MoU creates a framework for the companies to examine where their activities in the CO₂ value chain and existing logistics infrastructure may connect. The work will include technical interfaces, operational requirements, regulatory pathways, commercial alignment and the possible scope of a feasibility study.
