Norway has taken a major step towards storing CO2 off its coast. The „Northern Lights“ joint venture has completed both the offshore infrastructure for storing CO2 in the seabed and the onshore infrastructure for transferring liquefied CO2 from ships into a pipeline. From 2025, the first CO2 deliveries from European industry can be stored around 100 kilometers off the Norwegian coast. Initially, Northern Lights expects to store 1.5 million tons of CO2 annually. It could even store up to five million tons per year provided sufficient demand.
