Tokyo, Japan - October 29, 2024
Yokogawa Electric Corporation subsidiary Yokogawa Europe has been awarded the tender for the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase for the control, telecoms, and overall system integration of the Aramis Transport System, Northwest Europe’s largest carbon capture and storage (CCS) project. A collaboration between several large energy companies, the Aramis project aims to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions for hard-to-abate industries by providing CO2 transport to unlock storage capacity for the industry. The CO2 will be stored in depleted offshore gas fields, deep under the North Sea.

Yokogawa Europe, together with Yokogawa Group company KBC and French engineering firm Ekium, will carry out the FEED study of the integrated control and safety system (ICSS), telecoms, and system integration that covers the control room, CO2 pipeline, and distribution platform for the Aramis project. This backbone will provide the large-scale infrastructure needed to transport CO2 captured from various industrial companies out to the individual injection platforms and depleted gas fields. The FEED design is expected to be ready in 2024. The Aramis project aims to transport and store about 5 Mtpa (million tons of CO2 per year) in the start-up phase, with a final capacity of 22 Mtpa through phased expansion beyond 2030.
The project's location in the Port of Rotterdam makes the CO2 transport and storage service accessible to various industrial clusters, and it will cooperate with other CCS projects in the Port, such as Porthos, a project for CO2 transport and storage, and CO2next, an open-access storage terminal for liquid CO2.
