ARAMIS CCS PROJECT
Aramis is a large-scale CCS project designed to help hard-to-abate industries reduce CO₂ emissions by providing CO₂ transport infrastructure that unlocks offshore storage capacity. The project is being developed by Gasunie and EBN and is expected to be among the largest of its kind in Europe, with a planned final investment decision in 2027 and start-up anticipated in 2030.
Located on the Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam, Aramis will provide CO₂ transport services towards a central distribution hub in the North Sea, thereby providing access to third-party CO₂ storage services for industrial clusters in the Netherlands and potentially beyond. Captured CO₂ will be transported through a dense-phase offshore trunkline and stored in depleted offshore gas fields deep under the North Sea.
The system will be developed on an open-access and non discriminatory basis, enabling additional industrial customers and storage fields to be connected incrementally over time. This creates a scalable CCS value chain in which multiple emitters, infrastructure owners and storage operators can participate, supporting Dutch and European climate objectives.
The Aramis JV remains subject to merger clearance and final shareholder approvals. Until incorporation and FID, the partners are jointly progressing key planning, development and venture set-up activities under a Cooperation Agreement, including alignment across the integrated value chain. Once constructed and commissioned, Aramis aims to ensure safe, stable and efficient operations, initially supporting start-up volumes of around 5 Mtpa before ramping up to its installed capacity of 22 Mtpa. The partnership will combine technical expertise, CCS experience and shareholder capabilities to deliver a secure, scalable and environmentally responsible CO₂ transport solution, supporting the broader decarbonisation ambitions of industrial customers.

Financial and Operational Highlights
• Aramis represents a major capital project with direct investment of around €2 billion making disciplined cost control, risk management, effective contract management,schedule management and partner alignment essential to successful delivery.
• FID is planned for 2027 and RFO for 2030, maintaining schedule discipline, contractor performance management, and alignment of key value-chain interfaces and dependencies critical to successful delivery.
• Aramis has no direct control over broader source-to-sink investments, which are collectively estimated to exceed €5 billion across the wider CCS value chain, including emitters, terminals, storage developers and partner JVs.
Culture
The project organisationwill be staffed primarily by personnel from the two JV partners, who will fill the key project positions and provide the long-term organisationalcapability. Targeted expertise and continuity support from Shell and TTE will be secured, where required, through Secondment Agreements, interim assignments and/or Technical Service Agreements. Against this backdrop, the Aramis JV will need to define and develop its own culture, values and vision: one that enables all contributors to work effectively together, support the success of the joint venture and continue developing the skills required for a high-performing organisation.
