RWE Amer Carbon Capture Project

The BECCUS (Bio-Energy Carbon Capture Utilisation & Storage) project aims to reuse and store CO2 of sustainable, biogenic origin at RWE’s Amer and Eemshaven power plants. This will result in negative CO2 emissions of 11-14 megatons as of 2030. This amounts to 7-9% of the total annual CO2 emissions in the Netherlands. However, to meet the climate targets, the government still has to fill a gap of between 12 and 36 megatons of CO2, according to PBL. RWE’s deployment makes a major contribution here.
