Announced

GOCO2 transport is GRT Gaz, Heidelberg Materials, Lhoist, Lafarge, Elengy's carbon capture and storage project at Saint-Nazaire and western France, France.

Why it matters

Nothing has been committed to it yet.

  • GOCO2 transport was announced on 11 July 2023. as of 2023-07-11
  • Its site is at Saint-Nazaire and western France, France. as of 2023-07-11
  • It uses CO2 transport and storage. as of 2023-07-11
  • No committed public money is on file for it. as of 2023-07-11

Where GOCO2 transport is

GOCO2 transport is at Saint-Nazaire and western France, France, 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 Saint-Nazaire and western France 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.
