Reuters said INEOS plans to open Greensand off Denmark on Friday. Year one is drawn at 400000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. Later years are drawn between 4 million and 8 million tonnes. Cargo leaves Esbjerg, travels about 250 kilometres, and is injected about 1800 metres down at Nini West. Norway's Northern Lights started in August 2025; Reuters noted Norway sits outside the EU, so Greensand is framed as the Union's first full-scale store.
Reuters reported that the British firm's Danish North Sea store is due to open on Friday. Phase one is sized at 400000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. At full stretch the same dispatch draws a later band between 4 million and 8 million tonnes. Those figures sit on the Reuters card, not on a second publisher.[1]
Danish biomethane plants supply the gas. It is turned to liquid, hauled by truck to Esbjerg, then shipped about 250 kilometres out. Injection is planned about 1800 metres below the seabed at the spent Nini West field. The Esbjerg-to-Nini West path is the logistics line in the same Reuters dispatch.[1]
Reuters noted that Northern Lights in Norway began storing carbon dioxide in August 2025. Norway sits outside the EU. Greensand's Friday start is therefore framed as the Union's first full-scale store, not the North Sea's first store. That framing is Reuters' own, and this card has no second publisher.[1]
