About Longship

Longship is Europe’s first complete value chain for the capture, transport, and storage of industrial CO₂ emissions. The largest climate initiative in Norwegian industrial history.

Longship involves government support for developing the Northern Lights transport and storage infrastructure. Firstly, Heidelberg Materials‘ CO₂ capture project at the cement factory in Brevik. Secondly, Hafslund Celsios’ CO₂ capture project at the WtE facility in Oslo. 

New understanding

The Longship CCS project aims to contribute to new knowledge that can increase the likelihood of achieving Norway and the EU’s long-term climate goals. Throughout the planning and construction period, Longship has generated experiences that can contribute to improving the technical foundation for future projects. More over experiences in adapting to current legislation have been shared with the stakeholders across Europe, and both the EU and Norway are working to improve the framework for industries needing CCS to reduce their emissions and for the companies providing CO₂ storage.
