Gasunie and Vopak are currently
conducting the joint construction of Gate terminal, the first Dutch import terminal for liquefied natural
gas (LNG) in Rotterdam. The companies want to explore the possibilities for creating a CO2
distribution hub in The Netherlands, where gaseous and/or liquefied CO2 can be received from the
CO2 emitters and where these volumes subsequently can be discharged in large seagoing vessels
or transferred to pipeline networks for transportation to the numerous depleted offshore gas fields.
