Baltic CO2 Terminal Plans Advance to Support Cement CCS

Lithuania’s Environmental Protection Agency has moved the Klaipėda CO₂ transshipment terminal into the environmental impact assessment (EIA) phase, a key step for the CCS Baltic Consortium’s carbon capture and storage value chain. The terminal will receive CO₂ captured at cement plants such as Akmenes cementas and Schwenk Latvia, liquefy it and ship it from the port to offshore storage beneath the North Sea. Designated a Project of Common Interest and backed by the EU’s Connecting Europe Facility, the project targets completion by 2030. Public comments are accepted until 23 April.
