Equinor's Carbon Dioxide Highway Europe (CO2HE) project is set to revolutionize carbon dioxide transport and storage in Northwestern Europe. This initiative plans to establish an offshore pipeline spanning 1,035 km to connect CO2 reservoirs on the Norwegian continental shelf to emitters across Northwestern Europe. The project, part of the EU2NSEA under the EU TEN-E regulation, is seen as a game changer for the region's efforts in carbon capture and storage. The CO2HE project, scheduled for completion by 2030 pending sufficient customer commitment, faces challenges such as integrity, flow assurance, and operational costs. Despite these hurdles, the pipeline offers advantages over traditional transportation methods like trucks, rail, and ships. Notably, the success of CO2HE is intertwined with the development of blue hydrogen and ammonia from natural gas, which are vital for reducing emissions from gas usage. In 2024, Equinor conducted a significant offshore pipeline routing survey covering a vast area and secured storage licenses at additional sites for future capacity expansion. The project aims to have an initial capacity of 18 million tonnes per annum, potentially scaling up to 27 mtpa in the future. Key export terminals for the captured CO2 will be located at Zeebrugge and Dunkirk, with provisions for additional terminals across Europe. The safe capture and storage of CO2 facilitated by projects like CO2HE are essential for the advancement of blue hydrogen and ammonia production, enabling a transition to low-carbon energy sources. To delve deeper into the carbon dioxide value chain, the gasworld Rotterdam CO2 Summit will be held between March 17 and 19.
