Denmark – Denmark, with its strong commitment to sustainability, is stepping into the forefront of carbon capture and storage (CCS) with the ambitious CO2RYLUS project led by Gas Storage Denmark (GSD).

The focal point of this initiative is to develop Denmark’s first onshore CO2 storage facility in Stenlille, set to become operational by April 1, 2026.

The CO2RYLUS project is a symbol of Denmark’s commitment to carbon neutrality. With the tender for the first CO2 storage capacity now open, the project is inviting interested parties to contribute to this transformative endeavor. The capacity on offer is an impressive 2,000,000 tonnes of CO2, which will be delivered by trucks to the Stenlille storage facility and gradually injected into storage over a decade.

Fast-track to sustainability

CO2RYLUS project contracts are expected to be signed by December 1, 2023, showcasing Denmark’s commitment to accelerating its transition to a low-carbon economy. This urgency is in line with the global call for swift action on climate change and meeting international commitments such as the Paris Agreement.

More than just a storage facility, the CO2RYLUS project intends to create a dynamic platform for innovation and knowledge sharing in CCS technology. It’s a critical component of the project’s vision to disseminate and exchange technical reservoir knowledge, sharing experiences with early industry standards across the entire value chain, from emission sources to underground storage.
