Industrie: „Besser als Fabrik-Schließungen“: Ineos startet vor Dänemarks Küste Europas ersten Großspeicher für Kohlendioxid
Wo einst Öl gefördert wurde, wird nun Kohlendioxid eingelagert. Der Chemiekonzern Ineos will mit dem dänischen Projekt Europas Industrie retten. Doch die Technologie hat einen Nachteil.
Düsseldorf and Berlin – Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the bold chemical manager from Europe, has been publicly feuding with the EU Commission for quite some time. They view his actions as perpetuating the decline of Europe's industry. However, Ratcliffe seemed calm when he joined EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen in the Danish town of Esbjerg on Friday.
The occasion was a significant joint project. Both marked the launch of a unique facility in the Danish North Sea, the first carbon dioxide storage plant in Europe. Millions of tons of climate-damaging gas released by industrial firms annually will now be permanently stored at the seabed. For Ineos and the EU, the Greensand project represents a milestone towards making European industry more climate-friendly. Ratcliffe, however, is not afraid to speak his mind even on this occasion.
