Norway’s pioneering carbon capture and storage project Northern Lights is complete and ready for operation.

Norwegian minister of energy Terje Aasland was on site at the terminal in Oygarden today to open the 1.5 mtpa facility.

The project developer held its seventh annual Northern Lights Summit to mark the opening of what joint-venture partners Equinor, Shell and TotalEnergies said is the world’s first cross-border CO2 transport and storage facility.
