The planned ‘Porthos’ project would be Europe’s largest carbon capture and storage facility and is expected to reduce the country’s annual CO2 emissions by about 2% for a period of 15 years from 2026
The Netherlands’ highest court on Wednesday ruled that construction of a major carbon capture project in the Rotterdam port area can go ahead, despite objections by environmental activists.
However, the court said in a preliminary ruling in November the project might have to be halted because it did not meet European environmental guidelines. Porthos’ developers, which include the Rotterdam port authorities and Dutch gas company Gasunie, said they now expected to make a final investment decision in the coming weeks, with the aim of starting construction early next year.
