Specialized pipe solutions of the pioneering CCS project Porthos, Rotterdam

The Porthos project is a vital initiative located in the Port of Rotterdam, focused on transporting and storing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from various industrial sources. Set to be operational by 2026, the project involves constructing a 2.6 km onshore and 20 km offshore pipeline to capture and compress approximately 2.5 million tonnes of CO₂ annually. 

This CO₂ will be stored in empty natural gas fields beneath the North Sea floor, with a total capacity of 37 million tonnes. The challenges include ensuring the efficient and safe transportation of CO₂ while managing the technical complexities of constructing a large-scale pipeline system that integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure.

ISOPLUS plays a crucial role in the Porthos project by supplying 2.6 km of DN400/560 and 72m DN1050/1200 rigid pipes specifically designed for the onshore transportation of liquid CO₂, from the compressor station, where the insulated pipes are needed. 

These high-quality, pre-insulated pipes are essential for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the CO₂ transport system. By leveraging its expertise and advanced technology, ISOPLUS ensures that the pipeline meets the demanding requirements of the project, contributing significantly to the overall sustainability goals of the Porthos initiative.
