GRThe article discusses progress towards starting CO2 geological storage projects in Greece, specifically focusing on two major initiatives: the Prinos CO2 project and the ApolloCO₂ initiative. These projects aim to capture, transport, and store carbon dioxide underground to reduce emissions from industries unable to cut their emissions through technological means. The Prinos CO2 project involves transporting CO2 via pipelines from industrial sites to a deep underground reservoir in Prinos, where it will be stored at depths of 2500–3600 meters. Recent developments include the signing of a €169.3 million funding agreement between DESFA and the European Commission for constructing a unit in Revithoussa for CO2 processing and temporary storage. Additionally, both projects have secured national and EU funding totaling over €270 million out of a total investment budget of €1 billion. The goal is to obtain final investment decisions by early 2027, allowing drilling operations to begin.
