The CCS chain

The Government proposes to first implement carbon capture at Heidelberg Materials’s cement factory in Brevik. In addition, the Government also intends to fund Hafslund Oslo Celsio’s waste incineration facility in Oslo, providing that the project secures sufficient own funding as well as funding from the EU or other sources. Northern Lights (Equinor, Shell and Total) is handling the transportation and storage of CO₂.
