The grand opening of the continent's premier industrial carbon capture plant took place at Yara International's ammonia and fertilizer production site in Sluiskil, Netherlands. This facility marks the establishment of the first comprehensive cross-border system for the capture, transportation, and long-term storage of CO2. Annually, it has the capacity to capture and liquefy up to 800,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, which will be transported by the Northern Lights consortium to Øygarden, Norway, for permanent storage located 2,600 meters under the North Sea. Dignitaries including the Norwegian Prime Minister, the Dutch Prime Minister, and the EU Climate Commissioner were present at the event, which Yara anticipates will eliminate approximately 12 million tonnes of CO2 over the next 15 years, thereby aiding heavy industries such as fertilizer and cement in maintaining their competitive edge.

00:00Europe just switched on its biggest weapon, yet against industrial carbon emissions.
00:04Yara International officially inaugurated the continent's largest carbon capture facility
00:09at its fertilizer plant in Sluyskiel, the Netherlands,
00:14creating the first complete cross-border chain for capturing,
00:17shipping, and permanently storing carbon dioxide.
00:20The facility can capture and liquefy up to 800,000 tons of CO2 every year,
00:25straight from ammonia production.
00:27From there, specialized ships haul it across the North Sea to Norway,
00:31where it gets injected 2.6 kilometers beneath the seabed for permanent storage.
00:36Norway's prime minister, the Dutch prime minister,
00:39and the EU's climate commissioner all showed up for the opening,
00:43calling it proof that large-scale industrial decarbonization is possible right now,
00:48not just on paper.
00:49Over the next 15 years, the project is expected to remove roughly 12 million tons of CO2,
00:55all while helping heavy industries like fertilizer and cement production
00:59stay competitive without shipping jobs overseas.
