Towards a Low Carbon Emission Industry in the Port of Antwerp: the role of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Karen Callebaut, Technical Manager Environment 17/03/2015

Drivers Hotspot industrial CO 2 -eq 15 Mton CO 2 -eq (PoA) vs 31 Mton CO 2 -eq (Flanders) (VORA, 2010) Companies’ competitiveness Social economy Chemicals: direct (17% of Flanders) (NBB, 2012; essenscia, 2012) Europe’s largest integrated petrochemical cluster Cost efficiency by synergy > 50% > 70%

Vision GCO 2 pipeline Compression/Liquefaction at PoA Use Depleted NG Aquifer EOR Building material Greenhouses Renewable chemicals Separation technology Micro algae… CO 2 source 1 CO 2 source 2 CO 2 source n Purification of CO 2 (if needed) Geological storage at North Sea OR CCU(S) Network at Port of Antwerp
