Pioneering CO2 Storage: Total Energies, Shell, and Equinor Launch World's First Commercial Carbon Capture Project in Norway
The Northern Lights joint venture, a collaboration between TotalEnergies, Shell, and Equinor, has completed the world’s first commercial CO2 transportation and storage project in Norway. This landmark project is designed to capture and store carbon emissions from hard-to-abate industries across Europe, marking a significant advancement in global decarbonization efforts. Launched in late 2020 as part of Norway's Longship carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiative, Northern Lights includes a terminal for receiving liquid CO2, a 100 km subsea pipeline, and storage facilities located 2,600 meters below the seabed. The first phase of the project can transport and store 1.5 million tons of CO2 annually, with plans to expand capacity to over 5 million tons per year. The project's first CO2 injection is expected in 2025. This milestone, supported by the Norwegian government, establishes a critical CCS value chain for reducing industrial emissions in line with the Paris Agreement targets.
