GOCO₂ project
Project description
The GOCO₂ Project is dedicated to the transport of CO2 by pipeline across several départements in the Greater West of France.
The aim is to recover the so-called "fatal" CO2 emitted by certain industries and bring it to Elengy's Montoir-de-Bretagne terminal, where it will be liquefied and transported by ship for storage in permanent geological reservoirs.
Some of the CO2 emitted will be extracted at a range of set locations for specific uses, in particular the production of synthetic fuels or derived products.
Ultimately, collection networks designed for smaller emitters could be connected to our network.
This project was financed by the French government as part of France 2030, operated by ADEME for the feasibility study phase.
