World’s first CO2 storage site injects carbon 1.6 miles below seabed in Norway
SMRTR summary
Energy giants Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies have completed Europe's first permanent underground CO2 injection, a milestone in carbon capture and storage. CO2 from a Norwegian cement plant was transported by ship and pipeline to storage facilities in Øygarden before being injected beneath the North Sea seabed. This launch of Northern Lights, part of Norway's Longship initiative, represents Phase 1 with a storage capacity of 1.5 million tons of CO2 annually. An expansion to increase capacity to 5 million tons per year is already approved.
