At OIL REFINERY “GLIMAR”, we are committed to advancing sustainable refining practices and reducing our environmental footprint. One of our most significant initiatives in this effort is our CO₂ Reduction and CCS Program, designed to cut our carbon emissions by more than 50% through the capture and permanent storage of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from our hydrogen production units.

Through this project, Glimar is transitioning from producing conventional “grey” hydrogen to “blue” hydrogen, made possible by capturing CO₂ from the flue gases of our existing hydrogen plants. To achieve this, a new state-of-the-art facility is being constructed alongside our current hydrogen operations. This new plant will capture and liquefy CO₂ before it is transported by specialized vessels to depleted gas fields in the North Sea, where it will be stored permanently and safely underground.

The project marks a major step forward in Glimar Refinery’s journey toward low-carbon operations. In collaboration with leading industrial and energy partners, we are building the infrastructure and expertise needed to advance large-scale carbon capture and storage. Together, we aim to begin CO₂ capture operations by 2026, reinforcing our commitment to innovation, cleaner energy, and a sustainable future for the refining industry.
