DK CO₂ Corridor project

The DK CO₂ Corridor (DKCC) project offers shippers the opportunity to reach CO₂ storage sites in Denmark and the entire North Sea region via the DKCC pipeline infrastructure in Germany using export terminals, for example in Brunsbüttel, or planned onshore pipelines such as that of evida. In Germany, the DKCC will initially be developed in Schleswig-Holstein and around Hamburg, with later expansion stages to the southwest and east via Hanover to Saxony-Anhalt.

The CO₂ will be transported via a transnational pipeline network designed for dense-phase CO₂, i.e. CO₂ under high pressure. The infrastructure will be purpose-built, with existing corridors used wherever possible. OGE is responsible for the development of the CO₂ pipeline on the German side.

Commissioning on the German side is currently planned for 2033 but depends, among other things, on the legal and financial framework, the progress of the approval procedures, construction progress and developments on the German side and among the partners.

The DKCC project gives German emitters the opportunity to use large-scale transport infrastructure and a variety of storage options. 

The DKCC project is a core component of our CO₂ activities and complements the NSCC, DRC and WHVCC projects, with the aim of establishing a northwest European CO₂ transmission system.
