The Northern Lights project comprises transportation, receipt and permanent storage of CO2 in a reservoir in the northern
The funding for the project was approved by the Norwegian Parliament on
Initially, Northern Lights includes capacity to transport, inject and store up to 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year. Once the CO2 is captured onshore, it will be transported by newly designed ships, injected and permanently stored 2,600 meters below the seabed of the
The facilities are scheduled to be operational in 2024.
The CO2 receiving terminal will be located at the premises of Energiparken industrial area in the municipality of Oygarden in
