SOCS NL is targeting CO₂ emissions from hard-to-abate industries.

Shell Offshore Carbon Storage Solutions NL (SOCS NL) will offer CO₂ storage capacity in the Dutch sector of the North Sea and transportation solutions using Aramis infrastructure. In addition to the Aramis Launch volume, our aim is to have the second store (3.8 Mtpa) operational in the first half of the 2030s, with more capacity to become available in the years after. The first tranche of the capacity in our L09-FF store is currently offered to all interested customers.

Shell is investing heavily in the Dutch energy transition, including hydrogen, offshore wind farms, biofuels and electric charging stations.

Alongside efforts to avoid and reduce emissions through energy efficiency measures, increased electrification and fuel switching, wide-spread deployment of CCS in hard-to-abate sectors will be essential.

Shell plans to develop additional storage capacity as part of the SOCS NL project in the coming years with expected onstream dates beyond 2030.

Customers are also encouraged to express interest in future capacity to help gauge demand for subsequent phases.

Shell Offshore Carbon Storage NL

With deep expertise and proven storage capability, Shell is well-placed to work with hard-to-abate industries to accelerate and scale Carbon Capture and Storage.

Our process explained

Carbon Capture and Storage involves capturing the CO₂ generated during industrial processes, such as the production of steel, cement, or chemicals or to help decarbonise power stations that use hydrocarbons to generate electricity.

The CCS value-chain in the Netherlands

Accelerating CCS deployment needs strong collaboration among governments, industry, and investors to boost technology, infrastructure, and financing. New Launch Stores and Growth store: L09-FF are key drivers advancing this effort by enhancing carbon capture capabilities and supporting low-carbon product demand.

Carbon capture and storage

There is no single solution to the urgent challenge of cutting carbon emissions to limit global temperature rise. Carbon capture and storage offers a way to reduce emissions from sectors that are hard to decarbonise.
