Delivering Greece’s first CO₂ storage facility at Prinos

The Prinos project is playing a critical role in supporting national and EU decarbonisation targets by enabling the safe, permanent storage of industrial CO₂ emissions.

During the FEED phase, Kent will define the project’s technical scope and execution strategy, ensuring robust, safe, and efficient design aligned with the highest environmental standards. The development has already achieved key regulatory milestones, including environmental and storage permits, and has been recognised as a Project of Common Interest (PCI) by the European Union, with funding secured from both the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) and Greece’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).

Kent’s scope includes the design of a new CO₂ handling and storage system, integrating onshore and offshore infrastructure. The facility will receive liquid CO₂ delivered by marine carriers, temporarily store and condition it at the onshore Sigma plant near Kavala, and transport it via a new subsea pipeline to an offshore injection platform within the existing Prinos complex.

Designed to handle up to 2.8 million tonnes of CO₂ per annum by 2029, the Prinos project represents a significant step forward in large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment in the Mediterranean region.

Scope:

• Front-End Engineering Design for CO₂ storage infrastructure
• Design of onshore CO₂ reception, storage, and conditioning facilities
• Development of subsea pipeline transport system
• Integration with offshore CO₂ Injection and Water Production platform
• Definition of project execution strategy and technical specifications
• Safety, sustainability, and regulatory compliance planning

Project highlights:

• Greece’s first licensed CO₂ storage facility
• One of the few permitted CCS projects in Europe
• Recognised EU Project of Common Interest (PCI)
• Designed capacity of up to 2.8 MTPA CO₂ by 2029
• Key enabler of regional and EU decarbonisation goals

Kent’s expertise in delivering complex, low-carbon engineering solutions positions the company as a trusted partner in advancing carbon management infrastructure and supporting the transition to a more sustainable energy future.
