We are participating in unique projects in the Czech Republic which will significantly contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the future and which have the potential to help in meeting Green Deal commitments.
Effective emissions reductions
Vision to become a leader in CO2 storage
Building CO2 clusters
The CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) projects are unique in Europe. Their construction will open the way to other projects in inland areas.
IN PREPARATION
Preparation and implementation of the first commercial project for CO2 capture and storage in inland geological structures in the Czech Republic. Our partner in the project is Heidelberg Materials CZ, a.s. The project is designed to capture CO2 released during clinker production at the Mokrá Cement plant near Brno and its subsequent storage in suitable underground structures, called saline aquifers, in appropriate areas of South Moravia.
The project is part of a Green Deal commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. We are helping to keep Czech industry with carbon-neutral process emissions.
Technology to be put into operation
Lifespan of the project
We are planning to store from 2034
The average depth of geological storage is
The total capacity of the storage structures is of CO2 is
THE PROJECT IS CONDITIONAL ON A SUBSIDY BY THE EUROPEAN UNION'S DUTY PROGRAMME - IN OPERATION FROM 2033 to 2057
NEW CHALLENGES AND PARTNERSHIPS
MND has become a proud partner of the European COREu project. The main objective of the project is to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future linked to the development of CCS routes connecting emitters to storage sites and to further support research and innovation in the field of CO2 capture, transport, and storage in Southern and Central-Eastern Europe.
To achieve its goals, COREu brings four potential routes and the relevant stakeholders together under the same project: Prinos/Kavala in Greece, South Moravia in the Czech Republic, Baltic/Gdansk in Poland and Western Ukraine.
Through these routes, COREu will initiate the development of an open-access, transnational network to connect emitters with storage sites across Europe. The project will focus on multimodal transportation and the creation of emitter clusters to create the necessary demand and investment rationale for the deployment of CCS.
The project brings together more than 40 partners including: emitters, technology providers, gas transmission system operators, transportation companies, research institutes and universities.
