Denmark becomes first country in the world to bury CO2 that has been imported from abroad, with the carbon injected 1,800 meters below the seabed to prevent further warming of the atmosphere.
The CO2 graveyard, where the carbon is injected to prevent further warming of the atmosphere, is on the site of an old oil field led by British chemical giant Ineos and German Oil Company Wintershall Dea, the "Greensand" project is expected to store up to eight million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2030.
The North Sea is particularly suitable for this type of project as the region already has pipelines and potential storage sites after decades of oil and gas production.
