As Europe accelerates toward net zero, small and medium-sized emitters face a structural challenge: how to access permanent CO₂ storage sites located far beyond national borders and concentrated in a limited number of geologies. Developing viable cross-border transport solutions is therefore critical – but requires alignment across infrastructure, regulation and market mechanisms.

This session presents one of Europe’s first fully integrated BECCS value chains, connecting capture, liquefaction, cross-border transport and offshore storage. Scheduled to begin operations in summer 2026, the project captures biogenic CO₂ at a large biogas facility, liquefies it on site, and transports it via a multimodal logistics chain to offshore storage in the Danish North Sea.

With all elements of the value chain secured – from capture and liquefaction to transport, storage and long-term offtake – this project offers a rare, real-world example of how negative emission solutions can move beyond pilots into commercially viable deployment.

A key component of this value chain is the role of specialised logistics providers. The session could be delivered jointly with HOYER Group, which is responsible for the CO₂ transport, offering a combined perspective on both project development and the practical realities of building and operating CO₂ logistics chains across borders.

Drawing on this first-of-its-kind cross-border implementation, the session will share practical insights on:
- Designing transport solutions for emitters without pipeline access
- Navigating cross-border regulatory frameworks and liability regimes
- Structuring bankable commercial models and investment signals
- Coordinating stakeholders across the CO₂ value chain
- Bridging voluntary and compliance carbon markets

The session will highlight how dedicated logistics partnerships, international collaboration and early offtake commitments can unlock project viability – even for smaller emitters.
