The minute
- Yara International opened Europe’s largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility at its fertiliser production site in Sluiskil, in the Dutch province of Zeeland.
- The facility will capture emissions from Yara’s Sluiskil operations before they reach the atmosphere.
- Starting in 2026, the project targets the capture of 12 million tons of CO2 as part of Europe’s expanding industrial carbon network.
Why it matters: The opening signals a concrete step in Europe’s effort to build industrial-scale carbon capture infrastructure, moving CCS from pilot projects to large, operational facilities integrated into existing heavy industry.
The facility sits at one of Europe’s biggest fertiliser production sites, a sector known for high process emissions that are difficult to abate through electrification alone. Connecting capture operations to broader transport and storage networks could serve as a blueprint for other hard-to-decarbonise industries across the continent. Full details via ESG News.
