Where CO2next is
CO2next is at Maasvlakte, Rotterdam, Netherlands, and this register holds no position for it. The company has confirmed the site and no citable source places the works: it is being built where nobody has yet drawn it. The row is held anyway — position is not a condition of being on file — and what was searched, and what was found instead, is below.
NO POSITION SOUGHT BY THIS PASS. Brief 8 forbids geocoding in a census — a municipality is not a point — and the source that admits this row names Maasvlakte, Rotterdam and not a position. Transport and storage is the sector where that bites hardest: a pipeline is a route rather than a place, and a store is a reservoir whose position its operator rarely publishes. The row is admitted without one, on the rule that position is not an admission leg.

Technology and measures
- CO2 transport and storageearly-commercialThe pipelines, ships, terminals and permitted geological stores that a captured tonne has to reach before it counts as abated, and which no single site that captures can build for itself.
Funding
No public capital recorded for this project.
