# Dutch kick-start European attempts at carbon capture

The Porthos project, valued at €1.3bn ($1.4bn), has commenced with the first drilling to lay a 50km pipeline aimed at capturing and storing CO2 emissions from Rotterdam, Europe's largest port. The major CCS (carbon capture and storage) initiative plans to capture over 1 million tonnes of CO2 annually from local industrial sources, such as Shell's Pernis refinery, and sequester it beneath the North Sea. Despite financial and environmental controversies, the project is supported by the Dutch government as a critical step towards meeting its climate goals and serves as a significant test case for future CCS endeavours in Europe.
