Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is emerging as one of the most effective solutions to drastically reduce CO₂ emissions. Thanks to its expertise, Air Liquide is positioning itself as a key player in the development of CCS in Europe and worldwide. Let's find out more about this essential technology for a successful energy transition, explained by our expert, Guillaume Rodrigues, CO₂ Product Line Director.

Carbon capture: how does it work? What is its potential? How can it be developed? And what are Air Liquide's main CCS projects? Guillaume Rodrigues, CO₂ Product Line Director at Air Liquide Engineering & Construction, sheds light on these questions.

Thanks to its patented CryocapTM technology, Air Liquide is actively participating, alongside other companies, in several major CCS projects in key industrial basins in northern France and Europe. These include Porthos, in the port of Rotterdam, currently under construction and scheduled for commissioning in 2026, Kairos@C in Belgium, K6 in the Dunkirk industrial basin and ACCSION in Denmark. Air Liquide is also developing CCS projects in the United States and Asia.

Convinced that the success of CCS projects depends on a collaborative ecosystem bringing together various industrial players, Air Liquide adopts a partnership approach. This cooperation is crucial to designing appropriate solutions and promoting CCS on a large scale in the most strategic industrial basins.

Interest in CCS continues to grow, driven by the development of dedicated infrastructures.

From 2030 onwards, we expect a mass market to develop, with a need for more standardized units and faster execution.
