A consortium of 11 European stakeholders including ArcelorMittal, Axens, IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) and Total, launched a project on May 28 to demonstrate an innovative process for capturing CO2 from industrial activities named the DMX project.
It is part of a more comprehensive study dedicated to the development of the future European Dunkirk North Sea capture and storage cluster.
The 3-D project is part of Horizon 2020, the European Union’s research and innovation program. The project has a 19.3 million euro (US$21 million) budget over four years, including 14.8 million euros (US$16 million) in European Union subsidies. Coordinated by IFPEN, the 3-D project brings together 10 other partners from research and industry from six European countries: ArcelorMittal, Axens, Total, ACP, Brevik Engineering, CMI, DTU, Gassco, RWTH and Uetikon.
The 3-D project’s ambition is to validate replicable technical solutions and to achieve industrial deployment of capture and storage technology around the world. It should play a major role in enabling industries with high energy consumption and CO2 emissions, such as the steel industry, to reduce their emissions. This project is an essential lever for meeting the targets of the Paris Agreement on global warming.
