Europe has commissioned its largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at Yara's Sluiskil fertilizer plant in the Netherlands, capturing 800,000 tonnes of CO2 annually with subsea storage in Norway. Despite this milestone, investment in European CCS projects is declining, with more capacity cancellations than new commitments.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You need to reposition away from uncertain blue hydrogen projects and towards proven carbon capture at industrial sites like fertilizer plants, as Europe backs large-scale CCS with subsea storage. The EU's climate push creates openings for reliable CO2 transport and storage services across borders.
