Rotterdam CCS Cluster Project. Case study on ‘lessons learnt’: final report

18th April 2012

Topic(s): Carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), Public engagement

This report presents the results of the case study conducted to make explicit the history and lessons learnt of the Rotterdam CCS Cluster Project.

The Rotterdam Climate Initiative (RCI) is in the process of realising CCS in the Rotterdam area, the Netherlands. CCS activities in Rotterdam commenced in 2006 and until now, 18 companies cooperated to provide feasibility-level engineering studies for CO2 capture projects and a CCS common infrastructure network. The Rotterdam CCS Network Project can be characterised by:

  • a broad cooperation between parties, with active commitment of industrial organisations;
  • a vision that transcends single-source-single-sink projects and aims at a network, a hub function and focuses on the whole CCS chain of CCS; encompassing technology and organisational, legal and financial issues; and
  • a local (political) commitment to a long-term approach towards CCS deployment which transcends the region of Rotterdam.

The Rotterdam CCS Network project has experiences in a large number of fields that are considered highly relevant to other CCS projects. For example, use of goals and means, internal organisation, cooperation with industry, authorities and other stakeholders, technical, financial, legal and communication aspects, and lobbying.
