Yara Opens Europe’s Largest Carbon Capture Facility at Sluiskil

Overview

• Yara officially inaugurated and began operations at its Sluiskil ammonia plant on Monday, Sept. 7, 2026, establishing a full cross‑border chain for capture, transport and storage.
• The facility can capture and liquefy up to 800,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year from ammonia production and will temporarily store the liquid CO₂ onsite before shipment.
• Northern Lights will transport the liquefied CO₂ by ship to Øygarden, Norway, for permanent storage about 2,600 metres beneath the seabed.
• Captured volumes are currently exempted from carbon taxation and the project projects roughly 12 million tonnes stored over 15 years if regulatory and commercial conditions remain in place.
• Leaders and company chiefs attended the opening to signal public‑private cooperation and the project is presented as a possible model for decarbonizing hard‑to‑abate industries across Europe.
