Danube Carbon Storage joins the Negative Emissions Platform
The Negative Emissions Platform is welcoming its first Central European carbon removals company capturing CO₂ from yeast fermentation and anaerobic digestion processes
Danube Carbon Storage is developing a full-chain Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project in Central Hungary, delivering large-scale, permanent carbon removals using biogenic CO₂. The project will capture more than 500,000 tonnes of biogenic CO₂ per year from the yeast fermentation and anaerobic digestion processes of Pannonia Bio, one of Europe’s largest biorefineries. The captured CO₂ will be transported by pipeline and permanently stored in a nearby onshore geological storage site within a saline aquifer in the Pannonian Basin.
By combining proven industrial CO₂ capture with secure geological storage, Danube Carbon Storage will help scale high-integrity carbon removals for Europe’s voluntary carbon markets. The project aims to set a new benchmark for cost-effective bioCCS and demonstrate a replicable model that can support wider deployment across Europe as biomethane and bio-based industries continue to grow.
“Danube Carbon Storage is about turning Europe’s climate ambition into practical infrastructure. By combining permanent geological storage with biogenic CO₂ from existing industry, we can deliver real, measurable emissions reductions while supporting regional jobs and long-term industrial competitiveness”
