Denmark has unveiled a project to store carbon dioxide 1,800 metres beneath the North Sea, in an abandoned oil field. The ‘Greensand’ project, led by British chemical firm Ineos and German oil company Wintershall Dea, is expected to store up to 8 million tonnes of the gas every year by 2030. This makes the nation the first in the world to bury imported gas.
