Key Hub in Future European CO_2-Pipeline

摘要

A new EU plan includes Denmark .as one of the key hub in a 17,900 km long pipeline-network to carry CO_2-emission to a carbon capture storage system (CCS) under the North Sea. With a 17,900 km long pipeline and 2,515 km long ship route, the North Sea will become a gigantic storage for the CO_2-emission from the majority of the energy and industry sector in the EU. That is the purpose of a new giant infrastructure that will be built up from scratch within the next decades, if the EU-countries want to be capable of gathering the CO_2-pol-lution from the coal plants and industry and store it in offshore storages alongside the coasts.
