GOCO2, Grand-Ouest CO2
GOCO2, a large-scale project to capture and transport CO2 from industrial sources, supported by the Pays de la Loire Region and the Grand Port Maritime de Nantes Saint-Nazaire (GPMNSN).
Call for Expression of Interest
The "GOCO2" Call for Expression of Interest will allow to identify industrial CO2 emitters willing to commit to the development of a CO2 liquefaction and export terminal by 2030 on the existing site of the Montoir-de-Bretagne LNG terminal.

The objective of GOCO2 project is to develop an investment programme to capture CO2 on industrial sites and transport it by pipeline to the Montoir-de-Bretagne terminal for permanent geological storage. The estimated capacity is of 2.6 million tonnes per year by 2030. Convinced of the benefits of a collective approach, the partners in the GOCO2 project have jointly undertaken the studies required for this decarbonisation project, which is scheduled for completion by 2030.
GOCO2 represents a concrete and ambitious commitment to accelerate the decarbonisation of industrial sites in Western France, in addition to actions to avoid and reduce CO2 emissions.
A CO2 capture, transport and export project (for permanent geological storage) without equivalent in Western France.
A first step in decarbonising Western France by decarbonising industries, led by 6 regional players.
Infrastructures open to CO2 emitters in the 4 regions of the Grand-Ouest (Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Pays-de-la-Loire, Bretagne, Centre Val-de-Loire) ...
... covering a geographical area of 7.7 million people ...
… and about 450 000 industrial jobs.
A local project
Fully integrated into the local ecosystem, GOCO2 benefits from existing infrastructures located in the Grand Port Maritime Nantes Saint-Nazaire (GPMNSN).
Eventually, it will be able to transport CO2 from other industrial plants in the Grand-Ouest region, or biogenic CO2 from biomethane purification in particular. It will also help to attract new industrial sites to the region by providing access to a decarbonisation infrastructure.
Reduction in industrial emissions from 2.6 to 4.0 MtCO2/year.
Capture of a majority of unavoidable emissions that cannot be reduced by other measures.
Decarbonising key industrial activities in the region.
Infrastructure that will eventually enable the development of a Carbon Capture and Usage (CCU) activity.
