RWE signals backing for Noordkaap project with intent to ship carbon dioxide from power plant in Netherlands
UK independent oil and gas producer Neptune Energy and Norwegian gas infrastructure company Capeomega have outlined plans to develop a cross-border CO₂ storage network in northern Europe. The project, called Noordkaap, is based on shipping CO₂ to offshore storage sites in Dutch and Norwegian waters, potentially from 2028. Noordkaap would target industrial clusters where ship transport is the “primary or earliest available” CO₂ export option for emitters seeking storage. The project would use vessels suitable for direct injection of CO₂ at offshore locations, and for terminal offloading. “Both emitters and storage providers need to be able to transport CO₂ safely, and we know access to pipeli
