Enagás and Calcinor have signed a partnership agreement to collaborate on projects aimed at sustainable CO2 management. The agreement covers both companies' areas of activity and has the potential to cut down on CO2 emissions by around 900,000 tons per year.&nbsp;&nbsp;Calcinor will develop CO2 capture technologies and Enagás will work on solutions to transport, liquefy, store and load it onto vessels at its regasification terminals, from Calcinor's plants, for subsequent use or permanent storage.At signing the agreement, Jesús Saldaña, General Director and Business Development and Affiliates General Manager at Enagás, said that “this agreement with Calcinor, who are leaders in the industrial use of minerals, is a major leap forward in decarbonizing this hard-to-abate sector”, adding that “by leveraging their respective synergies, these two companies will become leaders in innovation and competitiveness in sustainable CO2 management in this sector”.&nbsp;&nbsp;According to Andoni Mendiola, Calcinor's Director of Business Development and Sales, “the company believes that decarbonization calls for a global solution, covering the entire process to ensure responsible use or storage. This strategic partnership with Enagás means we can move forward with a shared, coordinated vision for designing a comprehensive, viable value chain that's fully aligned with decarbonization goals, promoting an industry that's more environmentally friendly and ready for future challenges, while remaining competitive”.Under the terms of the agreement, Enagás and Calcinor shall explore opportunities to jointly apply for European funding, such as Innovation Funds and Projects of Common Interest (PCI).&nbsp;The two companies will also carry out technical, organizational, financial, contractual and legal feasibility studies on the CO2 value chain, as well as designing the corresponding infrastructure.&nbsp;Significant emission reductionsCutting CO2 emissions and how it's transported is a growing concern in Spain. Enagás' non-binding Call For Interest process, announced on the Second Hydrogen Day in January 2024, identified a total of 37 companies interested in CO2 capture —to reduce a total of 10.4 million tons per year (Mt/a)— and 53 companies interested in infrastructure for its transport and storage.&nbsp; &nbsp;

A deal has been signed to boost emission reduction projects at Calcinor's lime plants, which could cut emissions by around 900,000 tons of CO2 per year, plus the development of a logistics chain for capturing, transporting, liquefying, storing, and loading the CO2 onto vessels for subsequent use or permanent storage.
