Earlier this week (week 47), Northern Lights signed a new agreement on CO₂ transport and storage. This time with Yara Sluiskil in the Netherlands. This is a major milestone for the Longship project.

Brevik CCS is 66% completed and the Northern Lights storage facility is 86% completed.

It is complex to establish a CCS facility in an operating plant. This is documented in Heidelberg Materials’ and Hafslund Oslo Celsio’s lessons learned reports. For financial reasons, the companies will always prioritize maintaining operations at ...

Construction of the Northern Lights CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure and Heidelberg Materials’ capture plant is progressing.

Equinor (previously Statoil) has stored CO₂ in the Utsira formation in the North Sea since 1996. Since the start of the CLIMIT programme in 2005, support for different carbon storage projects has been a priority area.

The infrastructure to enable large-scale carbon storage must be established, and co-operation between countries, such as Norway and Denmark, is crucial to making this happen.

This agreement represents a major milestone for Northern Lights JV and is an essential step for creating a commercial market for CCS in Europe.

An updated cost estimate from Hafslund Oslo Celsio shows that the carbon capture project at its Klemetsrud site will exceed the maximum budget stipulated in its government funding agreement. Celsio is now seeking to place the project on hold and ...

Do you want to know more about what Norway’s Longship CCS project has achieved so far? Gassnova has just published a timeline where you can explore studies and reports released ranging from its inception up to today.

The project started with the concept study which was completed in 2015. Until now, only the summary has been published, but Gassnova is now publishing the entire study.

The stakeholders involved in the CCS project Longship all highlight trust as a prerequisite for the success of the project. Longship are being realized even though important regulatory issues have not yet been clarified, and it is unclear how the...

The capture operators Heidelberg Materials (formerly Heidelberg Materials) and Hafslund Oslo Celsio in the Longship project have tested their capture technologies on their own flue gas. Both note that this has been important to ensure that the am...

Longship will provide learning related to the regulation and incentivization of CO₂ management activities that others can benefit from. As Langskip is the first entire CCS chain to be regulated in Norway, the interface between regulato...

Experience from the Longship project shows that, due to a lack of commercial incentives for industry partners and whole chain risks that could not be absorbed by industry partners, tailored state aid agreements were necessary.
