In a major milestone for the Project Greensand carbon capture and storage project, the
first European-built CO2 carrier, Carbon Destroyer 1, was launched and named yesterday at the at the Royal Niestern Sander shipyard in the Netherlands, as part of a close partnership between Royal Wagenborg and INEOS Energy.
“The launch of Carbon Destroyer 1 is an important next step for carbon capture and storage in Europe” said INEOs chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe. “We are demonstrating that carbon storage is commercially viable and a far better way to decarbonize Europe without its deindustrialization.”
Lady Catherine Ratcliffe, as Godmother of the vessel, performed the traditional naming ceremony.
“This launch is a defining moment for Wagenborg,” said Wagenborg CEO Egbert Vuursteen. “It combines over a century of maritime experience with a forward-looking vision of sustainability. As the first European-built offshore CO2 carrier, this vessel positions us — and our partners — at the forefront of the energy transition in Europe.”
