Funded with €41 million from the Innovation Fund, Greensand Future by INEOS builds on a successful pilot to develop industrial-scale CCS in Denmark. The project will inject CO₂ into the Nini West oilfield, leveraging a ‘Port to Platform’ transport model. With operations starting in 2026, it could significantly contribute to the EU’s target of 50 million tonnes of CO₂ injection capacity by 2030. The Innovation Fund is 100% funded by the EU Emissions Trading System.
