The central government sees the capture, transport and storage of CO₂ (Carbon Capture and Storage, CCS) as an important (transitional) technology for making industry based in the Netherlands more sustainable. It is also an essential step in order for the Netherlands to achieve its CO₂ reduction target by 2030. The Aramis project aims – as part of the total CCS value chain – to realise a large-scale CO₂ transport infrastructure that enables storage at sea.
