Field Trip 8

Join us at the cutting edge of climate innovation with a visit to Maasvlakte’s Portland Visitor Centre, where the Porthos project is setting the stage for one of Europe’s first large-scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) operations.

From source to sink, this excursion provides a front-row view of how the Netherlands is tackling industrial emissions through collaboration, infrastructure, and subsurface storage.

On-site Presentation by experts from

EBN / Porthos Project Team (please ask Jorien Schaaf)

Topics include:

• CO₂ collection from multiple industrial sources 

• The collective transport network and compression systems

• Offshore pipeline routing to near-shore gas fields

• Storage in depleted gas reservoirs beneath the North Sea

• Legal frameworks, monitoring, and climate policy alignment

Field Overview: See the surrounding CO₂ emitters, the transport infrastructure, and the offshore connection — all part of a fully integrated carbon chain. This is a rare chance to witness the transition from emission to storage, and to explore the policies, partnerships, and engineering making it possible.
