Description
“CCS is ready, scalable and safe,” Gijsbrecht Gunter, Director of Public Affairs, Strategy and Business Development, Yara.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a proven solution that enables us to cut large industrial emissions while safeguarding the systems we rely on – from energy to food. By capturing CO₂ before it reaches the atmosphere and storing it securely deep underground, CCS enables large-scale decarbonization across hard-to-abate sectors.
At Yara's flagship ammonia and fertilizer plant at Sluiskil, the Netherlands, CCS is moving from theory to practice.
In 2026, the site will capture and liquefy up to 800,000 tons of CO₂ annually, which Northern Lights will then transport for permanent storage beneath the seabed on the Norwegian continental shelf. Over 15 years, this single project will store up to 12 million tons of CO₂, which is roughly equivalent to removing 174,000 cars from the road each year.
