From 2026 Northern Lights will be shipping the first cargo of biogenic CO₂ from Denmark to Norway

“We are very pleased that Ørsted has selected Northern Lights as CO₂ tranport and storage provider. Ørsted is our second commercial customer who, together with Yara, gives us the opportunity to further utilise the capacity at our storage site below the North Sea. This agreement confirms the commercial potential for CCS and demonstrates that the market for transport and storage of CO₂ is evolving rapidly”, says Børre Jacobsen, Managing Director of Northern Lights. 

Today, Ørsted was awarded public funding from the Danish Energy Agency under the first Danish tender of the CCUS Fund to develop a CO₂ capture hub for the biomass power stations Asnæs and Avedøre. The facilities will capture and liquefy 430,000 tonnes of biogenic CO₂ per year. Northern Lights will transport the liquefied CO₂ by ship for permanent offshore storage below the North Sea.
