Sofregaz Apollo CO2 Export Terminal

Feasibility Study for CO2 Liquefaction in Greece

  • Project Name: APOLLO CO2 Export
  • Country :  Greece
  • Project Site Location :  Revithoussa Island
  • Name of Client : DESFA - Ecolog
  • Project Type : Feasability Study
  • Completion Date : 2023

The Apollo CO2 Export Terminal project is an ambitious initiative aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of major industries in Greece. The project focuses on the collection of CO2 emissions from key industrial sites, which are then transported via pipeline to a dedicated CO2 liquefaction terminal. At this terminal, the CO2 will be liquefied and prepared for export to offshore locations, where it will be permanently stored underground in geological formations. This project represents a significant step in the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions to combat climate change.

Sofregaz has been entrusted with conducting the feasibility study for the CO2 liquefaction terminal. The study will explore various process technologies, evaluate the potential synergies with the Revithoussa LNG terminal, and assess the feasibility of using existing infrastructure to reduce CAPEX. Key aspects of Sofregaz’s role include:

  • Process simulations to determine the most efficient liquefaction methods,
  • Safety assessments to ensure the secure handling and transport of liquefied CO2,
  • CAPEX evaluations comparing standalone CO2 liquefaction facilities to synergy-based approaches using existing infrastructure.
CO2 Collection and Liquefaction

The project aims to capture CO2 emissions from major industrial sources and transport it to the Apollo CO2 terminal, where it will be liquefied for safe transport. The liquefaction process is a critical step in reducing the volume of CO2 for transport and storage, and Sofregaz is conducting in-depth process simulations to optimize this phase.

Synergies with Revithoussa LNG Terminal 

One of the innovative aspects of the Apollo CO2 Project is the potential to leverage existing infrastructure at the Revithoussa LNG Terminal. By using the existing regasification systems at Revithoussa, the project could benefit from significant synergies, reducing both CAPEX and OPEX. Sofregaz is carefully analyzing these options, providing detailed comparisons between standalone and synergy-based approaches.

Permanent CO2 Storage

Once liquefied, the CO2 will be transported by ship to offshore storage sites, where it will be injected into geological formations for permanent underground storage. This is a key part of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, which is critical for reducing global CO2 emissions and combating climate change.
