Sener is actively contributing to the development of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) infrastructures, a key technology for meeting European climate neutrality targets. By combining our multidisciplinary engineering with advanced process knowledge, we design systems that capture CO₂ at industrial plants, transport it safely, and either utilise it in new processes or store it permanently underground. Our role is to turn climate goals into operational infrastructures that deliver measurable reductions in emissions.
Our work demonstrates that CCUS is no longer a theoretical option but a practical tool. By integrating capture plants into waste-to-energy facilities and creating marine terminals for liquid CO₂, we help industries and cities reduce their emissions while securing compliance with European regulations. Each project shows our ability to align environmental responsibility with operational feasibility.
Sener has been selected for flagship CCUS projects that demonstrate both technical expertise and international trust. In the AEB Amsterdam Aurora project, we are responsible for the design of a capture facility capable of removing around 0.5 million tonnes of CO₂ per year by 2028, representing nearly 10 % of Amsterdam’s municipal reduction target. At the CO2next terminal in Rotterdam, Sener is delivering FEED engineering for one of Europe’s first large-scale CO₂ hubs, with an initial capacity of 5.4 million tonnes per year and 48,000 m³ of liquid storage, scalable up to 15 Mtpa as demand increases. These projects illustrate how we bring technical reliability and innovation to infrastructures of continental relevance.
We follow a lifecycle approach to carbon capture, utilisation and storage. During assessment, we model emissions and evaluate capture technologies such as amine absorption, cryogenic separation, or oxyfuel integration. In design, we optimise processes for energy efficiency and integration with existing facilities. Implementation is executed under EPC contracts with strict safety and environmental standards, while in operation we provide monitoring, maintenance, and upgrades to ensure long-term performance.
Our solutions are conceived to work within complex industrial and urban contexts. By designing capture systems for waste-to-energy plants, terminals at major European ports, and integration with transport and storage networks, we ensure that CCUS infrastructures are not isolated facilities but part of a broader ecosystem that supports the circular economy and decarbonisation goals.
Sener’s expertise in CCUS is demonstrated through projects such as AEB Aurora in Amsterdam and CO2next in Rotterdam, advancing Europe’s carbon network and net-zero goals.
By developing projects across Europe, we ensure that captured carbon is managed within safe, efficient, and scalable infrastructures that are aligned with the EU’s decarbonisation strategy.
