The year is drawing to a close, and what a year it has been. We have achieved several significant milestones that fill me with pride. The Aramis team has not only delivered exceptional work but has also made considerable progress, leaving everyone energised and confident. We head into the new year with full force, looking forward to a successful and promising 2025.

The D-HUBN offshore CO₂ distribution platform will be the heart of the future Aramis CCS infrastructure. Leading its development is Daan Noothoven, D-HUBN lead and delivery manager for TotalEnergies. With more than 25 years’ experience in EPCCI (engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, installation), Daan has successfully worked on complex onshore and offshore projects worldwide, from design to installation. He is now focused on this critical component of the Aramis infrastructure, which is essential for achieving sustainable CO₂ storage.

The Aramis Joint Task Force, led by the Dutch Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth, successfully concluded this autumn. The collaboration between the ministry, the Aramis project and the Eni, Shell and TotalEnergies storage projects has identified various bottlenecks for the development of the Aramis value chain while proposing potential measures. What are they? And what are the next steps?

Bij CCS (carbon capture and storage) gaat CO₂ onder zeer hoge druk door pijpleidingen. De sterk samengeperste CO₂ vertoont hierbij eigenschappen van zowel een vloeistof als een gas. Met running ductile fracture (RDF) testing wordt onderzocht hoe de zogeheten dense-phase CO₂ zich in de pijpleidingen gedraagt en wat de gevolgen zijn van een eventuele breuk. Anil Erdoğdu, CCS Project Lead namens EBN, legt uit hoe dit in zijn werk gaat – en waarom het zo belangrijk is.

On 16 January 2025, from 7.30 pm to 8.30 pm, an online information session will take place. This session will focus on the Aramis initiative and the permits that will be open for public consultation from 20 December 2024 to 30 January 2025.

As the holiday season approaches, Aramis wishes you many joyful moments with your loved ones. This is a time to reflect on the remarkable progress we have achieved together and to celebrate some of our key milestones. Discover our 2024 highlights here: [link post]

The Aramis project is truly groundbreaking, introducing innovative approaches to permitting, technology and regulation. By creating clarity, coordinating efforts and aligning schedules across the CCS value chain, we are moving towards Final Investment Decision readiness.

We look forward to continuing working together to support the reduction of CO₂ emissions for hard-to-abate industries in the new year!

Aramis is gaining visibility, and our experts are regularly invited to speak at conferences and seminars. We were recently guest speakers or present at:

• Energy Transformation Forum 2024 (2 October, Rotterdam)
• Industrial Carbon Management (ICM) Forum (10–11 October, Pau)
• Ecology Day Mayor of the North Sea (31 October, Noordwijk)
• EU PCI Energy Days (4–5 November, Brussels)
• KGG networking event (4 December, Antwerp)
• ZEP European Industrial Carbon Management Summit (5 December, Brussels)
• CATO webinar ‘Industry guidelines focused on CO₂ specifications’ (12 December, online)

Early next year, you will be able to meet our partners and us at various events, including:

• 4th European Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage 2025 (30–31 January, Amsterdam)
• Carbon Capture Summit (6 February, Amsterdam)
• Carbon Capture Europe Summit 2025 (29–30 April, Amsterdam)
