CO2 capture and storage
Addressing Climate Change
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays a pivotal role in combating climate change by capturing CO2 emissions from industrial processes. It gives them valuable time to transition to a carbon free industrial process and in the meantime, still allowing for significant emissions reduction.
Unlocking the Future of Decarbonization
At Engas, we are proud to introduce the first onshore CCS facility in Central-Eastern Europe, located in Slovakia. As the world focuses on reducing carbon emissions to combat climate change, CCS plays a crucial role in decarbonizing industries that are hard to electrify, such as steel, cement, and chemical production.
Why CCS Matters
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology offers a vital solution to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, by capturing CO2 emissions from industrial processes and storing them safely underground.
Our unique advantage
Our CCS facility benefits from being a licensed underground gas storage, with existing CO2 already in place. This advantage not only provides a secure storage solution but also ensures the efficient utilization of infrastructure, making our operations more sustainable and cost-effective.
Ensuring Safety and Security
Safety is paramount in all aspects of our operations. Our facility's unique advantage lies in its location, situated approximately 1700 meters below ground level. This depth ensures the safe and secure storage of captured CO2, minimizing any potential risks to surrounding communities or the environment. Additionally, the presence of existing CO2 further enhances safety measures, as it demonstrates the stability and reliability of the storage site over time.
Licensed underground gas storage facility located approximately 1700 meters below ground for enhanced safety.
Supporting Industry Decarbonization
By providing these industries with a reliable CCS solution, we enable them to continue their operations while significantly reducing their carbon footprint, supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.
