Pioneering Carbon Capture and Storage Project in the Baltics
As part of the European Union’s ambitious goal to become climate neutral by 2050, our mission is to establish a robust and sustainable CO₂ value chain in the Baltics – a region currently devoid of CO₂ transport and sequestration infrastructure.
Project benefits
Emmiters
- Strengthen EU industrial competitiveness by
decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors in the
Baltic region; - accelerate delivery of EU climate targets
under the Green Deal and Climate Law; - protect high-quality industrial jobs through
shared CO₂ transport and storage
infrastructure; - enhance public trust with visible emissions
reductions and local environmental
benefits.
Governments
- Advance national contributions to EU
climate-neutrality goals; - grow regional competitiveness by
upgrading existing industries with
cleaner technologies; - prevent carbon leakage by ensuring
competitiveness against non-EU
producers; - attract new investment and innovation
into Baltic economies through
future-proof infrastructure; - boost local value creation through new
market opportunities linked to CCS and
low-carbon products.
Infrastructure & Logistics Players
- Secure continuous and reliable CO₂
volumes from industrial customers; - integrate CCS into emerging clean-energy
value chains, leveraging cross-sector
opportunities in bioenergy, synthetic fuels,
and circular carbon flows; - strengthen the Baltic region’s role as a
strategic energy and CO₂ management
hub; - accelerate development of integrated
carbon transport networks that serve
multiple clean-energy sectors; - strengthen cross-border connections to
create a European CO₂ market.
How it works
1. Carbon Capturing
The CO₂ emissions will be captured at cement plants operated by SCHWENK Latvija (Latvia) and Akmenės cementas (Lithuania). Carbon capture systems, small-scale liquefaction units and buffer storage facilities will be installed at the cement plants.
2. On Shore Transportation
CCS Baltic Consortium is focusing on pipeline as preferred method for onshore CO₂ transportation, with gas transmission operators AB Amber grid and Conexus Baltic Grid AS assissting inpreparatory works. In parallel, road transport by trucks and/or railway by wagons for lower volumes will be available. CO₂ will be transported to and stored at the multimodal LCO₂ import/export terminal operated by KN Energies located at Klaipėda port, Lithuania.
3. Off Shore Transportation & Storage
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and Larvik Shipping will cover offshore transportation. LCO₂ will be transported by ships to the permanent offshore storage facility location, which is not determined at the moment.
Did you know?
The Baltic States currently do not have CO₂ transport and sequestration infrastructure and are one of the last coastal territories in Europe where such system has not yet been developed or planned.
