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.
Developing CO2 transportation and storage services is one of the necessary levers to reduce emissions and a realistic decarbonisation solution for European industry.
