Full chain carbon capture and storage

Danube Carbon benefits from a uniquely efficient setup to permanently sequester carbon at the million tonne per year scale.

Involving a minimal number of stakeholders, it requires limited shared infrastructure, and leverages cost-effective, onshore saline aquifer storage located near or beneath CO₂ source sites in Central Europe.

With high-purity CO₂ captured from biogenic sources, and short pipeline distances, the system is technically simpler, more cost-effective, and carries significantly lower stakeholder and infrastructure risk than the more widely deployed offshore CCS models under development in Europe.

Situated at the heart of one of Europe’s largest continuous onshore aquifer systems, and in a region with a rich tradition of gas infrastructure development, Danube Carbon is ideally placed for scalable, permanent storage of biogenic and fossil CO₂.

Onshore CCS and carbon removals

Stand-alone CO₂ storage complexes linked to nearby point sources

Cost effective onshore storage, short pipeline transport and high purity CO₂ capture

Carbon removals in sustainable agri-food value chains

Capture

High-purity biogenic CO₂ from large-scale fermentation at Pannonia Bio — one of Europe’s leading biorefineries.

Transport & Storage

Danube CO₂ transported via short (10-20km) advanced composite pipeline and safely injected into deep saline aquifers in the Pannonian Basin, a vast system of saline aquifers suited to CCS.

Certification

Danube removals are independently verified and certified under the EU carbon removal framework CRCF, ensuring quantifiable, additional, permanent, and verifiable climate impact.
