The CCS chain
The government has given grants to Heidelberg Materials’ Brevik CCS project and Hafslund Celsios (formerly Hafslund Oslo Celsio and Fortum Oslo Varme) CO2 capture project. Due to increased cost estimates, Hafslund Oslo Celsio has put its construction project on hold. And is now working to reduce costs for the project.
Captured CO2 from Heidelberg Materials, Brevik and Hafslund Celsio will be delivered to Northern Lights. Which handles transport and storage. Northern Lights has received a grant from the state to build transport and storage capacity that exceeds the needs from these two capture projects. Northern Lights has sold this excess capacity to Yara in the Netherlands and Ørsted in Denmark. These projects receive no direct support from the Norwegian state.
Hafslund Celsio
- Capture of 400 000 tonnes of CO2 per year

- Delivery of CO2 to Northern Lights at the quay in the port area of Oslo
Heidelberg Materials
- Capture of 400 000 tonnes of CO2 per year
- Amine technology
- Includes CO2 cleaning, liquefaction and buffer storage (4 days)
- Delivering CO2 to Northern Lights at quayside
Transport
- Four ships to transport CO2
- Transport distance approx. 700 km (for Norwegian projects)
- Liquefied state of CO2 (15 barg, -26°C)
- Onshore terminal in Øygarden (west coast Norway) with buffer storage, pump and heater (capacity of 1.5 million tonnes CO2 per year)
- 110 km pipeline, 12 inch diameter (with a capacity of approx. 5 million tonnes of CO2 per year)
Storage
- Storage 3000 meters under the sea bed in the North Sea
- Injection wells with a capacity of 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year
