AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – The highest court in the Netherlands on Wednesday said a major carbon capture project in the Rotterdam port area does not meet European environmental guidelines and said it needed more time to decide whether the project should be halted.
Environmental activists had demanded that permits for the “Porthos” project would be revoked, as they claimed effects of construction on a nearby nature reserve had not been taken into account properly when the permits were given.
