As the first large-scale carbon dioxide storage project in the EU, the first phase of "Green Sands" is expected to store 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually. INEOS, the leading company in the project, stated on its website that the carbon dioxide will be stored on the seabed below the abandoned Niniwest oil field, approximately 250 kilometers off the west coast of Denmark, at a depth of about 1,800 meters below the seabed. In its first phase of commercial operation, the "Green Sands" project can store up to 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually. With increasing demand, the storage capacity is planned to expand to 4 to 8 million tons per year by 2030. It is understood that this carbon dioxide mainly comes from a biomethane plant in Denmark, where it is liquefied and then transported by truck to a dedicated terminal in the port of Esbjerg, from where it is shipped to sea by the EUs first dedicated carbon dioxide transport ship.

Cryptocurrencies at crossroads after annus horribilis

To paraphrase Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom, the bitcoin industry won't look back on 2022 with pure joy.


Investors began to pose major existential issues at the end of the year as a result of the rapid series of crashes, contagion, and breakdowns.


After all, the biggest cryptocurrency, bitcoin, has struggled to maintain its value for more than a week at a time and has dropped by almost 75 percent from its high of $69,000 in November of last year.

Many of the 22,000 or so tokens and coins are comatose, if not dead, and their market value is now less than a third of their high $3 trillion worth in November 2021.


That came as a harsh reality check for an industry that began 2022 with hopes for widespread institutional adoption, the replacement of gold as the primary inflation hedge by bitcoin, endorsements from people like Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, and the frenzied celebration of non-fungible tokens valued at billions of dollars.


The Fed's extreme hawkishness didn't only hit cryptocurrencies hard; TerraUSD's collapse, a stablecoin, also caused a "Lehman moment" when funds and brokers like Celsius and Voyager went bankrupt.


The collapse of Sam Bankman-FTX Fried's exchange last month, which some saw as the death knell for cryptocurrencies, was one such event.
