The Carbon Connect Delta Program is a proposed carbon sequestration program to aid Belgium and the Netherlands in achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. It aims to capture, transport, and store 6.5 million tones of CO 2 by 2030 using carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the transboundary area of the North Sea Port area of the Scheldt-Delta region connecting Belgium and the Netherlands.
The Midale fields were injected with 0.4 Mtpa and the Weyburn fields are injected with 2.4 Mtpa for a total injection capacity of 2.8 Mtpa. The Weyburn-Midale Carbon Dioxide Project (or IEA GHG Weyburn-Midale CO 2 Monitoring and Storage Project), was conducted there. Injection continued even after the study concluded.
Around 70% of announced CCS projects have not materialized, [2] with a failure rate above 98% in the electricity sector. [4] As of 2024 CCS was in operation at 44 plants worldwide, [5] collectively capturing about one-thousandth of global carbon dioxide emissions. [6] 90% of CCS operations involve the oil and gas industry.
By 2050, the EU will need to capture up to 450 million tons of CO2 per year, according to a draft European Commission plan, seen by Reuters. ... The EU has no operating CO2 storage projects.
Around 90% of the identified storage geologies for carbon dioxide in Europe are shared between Norway and the United Kingdom; all of the designated sites for storage are located in the North Sea. The first carbon storage operation to utilise the North Sea bed, was the Sleipner Field in 1996, which was operated by a Norwegian oil and gas company.
The category is covered by additional projects and programmes that describe various measures and aims in more detail. For example, the Dutch Flood Protection Programme (DFPP) is funding about 300 projects with the purpose to strengthen 1500 kilometers of dikes and 500 flood related facilities throughout the country by 2050.

10 July 2009 major economies forum meeting on climate change: Australian Prime minister Mr Rudd, who shared the stage with US President Barack Obama, said the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute (CCS) would now be an international initiative led by Australia - which will act as a clearing house for research of new technologies, legislation to pave their path and as a vehicle to ...
Multiple projects seeking to remove carbon dioxide from the air have been launched across Los Angeles County.
