Project Details
Description
This phase, Project Greensand Phase 2, has further matured the storage assessment of the Nini field and has deliver the required technical documentation and reports, which will be used for a CO2 Storage Site Permit Application by 2024. Moreover, the project has qualified the monitoring technologies enabling environmentally safe storage. This is required to maintain the ambitious target of providing storage by end 2025/early 2026. All work done is in compliance to the existing international standards, to allow subsequent approvals from regulators and authorities to be as swift as possible.
Results
The project has successfully conducted an injection pilot in Nini West reservoir. 7 batches have been injected in total, equally to approx. 4,100 tonnes of CO2. Next step is to further mature Project Greensand into a fullscale project of minimum 0.3 mtpa by late 2025/early 2026 and scaling through further projects to 4-8 mill tonnes CO2 by 2030 if justifiable in the depleted oil fields of the Greensand Area.
On March 8th, 2023, Project Greensand initiated the world's first cross-border offshore CO2 storage intended to mitigate climate change. This storage was officially celebrated at the exclusive First Carbon Storage event in Esbjerg, Denmark, in the presence of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, Danish Minister for Energy-, Climate-, and Utilities Mr. Lars Aagaard - and with a pre-recorded address from President of the European Commission Ms. Ursula von der Leyen. Based on findings from the Global Status of CCS 2022 report, it can be concluded that Project Greensand conducted the world’s first cross-border offshore CO2 storage intended to mitigate climate change.
The consortium in Project Greensand Phase 2 was constituted by the most experienced companies and institutions within offshore industry operations and CCS in both Denmark and Northern Europe. With this multifaceted consortium, Project Greensand has moved the CO2 Storage in the Nini Field from its current TRL 5 to TRL 8 during the project period.
The project is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
