Northern Lights CO2 storage facility launches in Norway
TotalEnergies, Equinor and Shell have completed the carbon dioxide (CO2) receiving and storage facilities at the Northern Lights joint venture in Øygarden, Norway.
The facilities consist of a terminal that will receive CO2 cargoes, a 100km subsea pipeline for CO2 transportation to the offshore storage location, and subsea injection facilities for permanent CO2 storage in a reservoir 2,600m below the seabed.
Northern Lights – billed as the world’s first commercial CO2 transport and storage project – is now ready to receive CO2 from European industries, with first injection expected in 2025.
