The 20-kilometer 16-inch pipeline will carry captured CO2 from Rotterdam’s industrial area to depleted gas fields beneath the North Sea. With the pipe now laid, the next phase begins: trenching, where the pipeline will be safely buried to ensure long-term protection and reliability.

This milestone follows a period of intense coordination, engineering, and resilience. Lorelay completed the task with pinpoint accuracy—even in one of the world’s busiest ports.
