Shell, Equinor, TotalEnergies open Norwegian CO2 storage facility

The site consists of 12 metal tanks onshore, capable of temporarily storing a 7,500 cubic metres cargo from one of the custom-made ships commissioned to deliver liquefied CO2.

This is then sent via a 110 kilometre pipeline for permanent storage in a rock formation 2,600 metres below sea level.

Northern Lights' first phase can inject 37.5 million metric tons of CO2 over a 25-year period, or 1.5 million tons per year. A second phase targets an additional 3.5 million tons a year.

The first delivery will come from a capture facility at the Brevik cement plant in southern Norway owned by Heidelberg Materials, which is also part of the Longship project.

To add a bit of persepective, in 2023, the “average American” was responsible for about 12 metric tons of CO₂ emissions (if I did my conversion right.)
