[The EU's first large-scale carbon storage facility opens in Denmark] On September 18th, Denmark launched the "green sand" carbon capture and storage facility in the North Sea on the 18th to inject carbon dioxide into submarine reservoirs. As the first large-scale carbon dioxide storage project in the EU, the first phase of "Green Sand" is expected to store 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year. Ineos Group, which is leading the project, issued a statement on its official website saying that the carbon dioxide will be stored on the seabed beneath Ninevest, an abandoned oil field about 250 kilometers off the west coast of Denmark, at a depth of about 1,800 meters below the seabed. In the first phase of commercial operation, the "Green Sand" project can store up to 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year. As demand grows, storage capacity is planned to expand to 4 million to 8 million tons per year by 2030. (CCTV News)
