One step closer to realising Stella Maris CCS

One step closer to realising Stella Maris CCS – the large-scale, maritime and flexible CCS solution.

Together with our partner Wintershall Dea, Altera Infrastructure have applied for a CO₂ storage license in the North Sea for our “Havstjerne” project.

Altera’s Stella Maris CCS solution is tailored to collect, transport, inject and store 10Mtons of CO₂ per year using strategically placed collection hubs and large CO₂ carriers for transport to safe and permanent offshore storage.

Altera has over the last ten years been developing a mature maritime solution which is unique in its scalability. Altera’s vision is to build an open access based CO₂ infrastructure to allow emitters across Europe to connect to a cost-effective CCS solution. We are offering the emitters a safe and reliable, fully integrated CCS infrastructure value chain, including terminal, shipping and permanent storage.

“If we are awarded the license, this will be the first commercial, large-scale CCS solution in Europe. CCS is industrial development where we believe strong partnerships are key to successfully deploy a solution which is competitive to the cost of emissions. With Wintershall Dea as an experienced operator, our companies have built a unique partnership with deep knowledge and operational experience across the infrastructure value chain.”– Johanne Koll-Hansen Bø, VP & Head of CCS, Altera.

Having advanced discussions with large emitters and land-based industry clusters across Europe, we are confident we will have a robust platform in place for the early commercialisation of CCS.
