Avtalen har en verdi på USD 31,6 millioner og utgjør 100 000 tonn karbonfjerning levert i årene 2029 og 2030. Den bilaterale avtalen mellom Frontiers kjøpegruppe og Hafslund Celsio er den første kjente avtalen om karbonfjerning fra avfallsforbrenning. Les mer om saken her: https://lnkd.in/dXBV3SNb

Stor utvidelse av CO2-lagring i Norge 🌟 – Det er en stor glede at Northern Lights velger å investere i økt lagringskapasitet for CO2 i Norge. Dette er en stor utvidelse som vil gi et nytt momentum innen storskala CO2-lagring på norsk sokkel, sa energiminister Terje Aasland, da han mottok utbyggingsplanen for Northern Lights fase 2.   Denne utvidelsen vil øke transport- og lagringskapasiteten for CO2 fra 1,5 millioner til minimum 5 millioner tonn CO2 per år. Landanlegget i Øygarden utenfor Bergen vil utvides med en ny kai, flere lagringstanker og økt pumpekapasitet og antallet injeksjonsbrønner til havs dobles fra to til fire. Et av målene med Langskip-prosjektet er å legge til rette for at utslippere i Europa kan lagre CO2 på kommersielle vilkår i Norge. Northern Lights investerer 7,5 milliarder kroner i denne utvidelsen. EU har gitt støtte på 131 millioner euro. Resten av finansieringen kommer fra selskapet selv, uten støtte fra den norske staten. 

Important step forward for CCS in Europe! Today, Northern Lights submitted the Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) for our expansion phase to the Norwegian Ministry of Energy, Terje Aasland. The plan follows our investment decision last week and marks the next step in increasing capacity to at least 5 million tonnes of CO₂ per year. The expansion plans are leveraging on the existing infrastructure from Northern Light’s first phase, which is part of Longship, and is enabled by a grant from the CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CEF Energy) funding scheme. The expansion will enable storage of CO₂ from several European industrial customers, including Stockholm Exergi, which recently signed an agreement to transport and store up to 900,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually – reinforcing Northern Lights’ commitment to offer an effective solution to reduce emissions from European industries. https://lnkd.in/dHS6P3hQ Energidepartementet (Norge), Tim Heijn, Benedicte Staalesen, Ove Kenneth Dalland #NorthernLightsCCS #CO2Storage #CCS

We’re expanding! Northern Lights are happy to announce the final investment decision for the expansion of the transport and storage capacity in Øygarden, West Norway to a minimum of 5 million tonnes CO2 annually. The expansion follows the commercial agreement with Stockholm Exergi to transport and store up to 900,000 tonnes of biogenic CO2 annually. Thank you to the Northern Lights owners for the continued support, to the Norwegian government for paving the way with the Longship project and to the European Commission for enabling the expansion.

📢 SMART-CDR Competition – WINNER PROFILE 1 ➡️ “TRACE CO2” University affiliation: KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) 🎉 🎉 Congratulations to Abdulwahab Alqahtani, Abdirizak Omar, Mariia Solodiankina, and Faris Alotaibi of the Trace CO2 team for winning one of the three grand prizes of the Mission Innovation Carbon Dioxide Removal Mission #SMARTCDR Competition! In addition to USD10000 in cash, the team also bagged the special mention on top-notch Science Communication! The Trace CO2 team formed after they saw the announcement for the SMART-CDR Competition, deciding to bring their #CDR-related research together to develop a #basalt tracer-based #MRV technology for permanent CO₂ removal.   The team members all came from different engineering backgrounds. They became motivated to work on CDR when they realized the pressing need for CO2 removal technologies and saw the opportunity to leverage their fundamental engineering knowledge to help develop technologies for carbon removal as part of their graduate research.   Through the SMART-CDR Competition, the students have seen the potential #global #impact of their work and winning gives them the encouragement they need to continue doing research. The future is bright – as they will continue their CDR research and mentor junior colleagues to carry the research forward, together.   “We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and KAUST, who have provided us with immense support in multiple ways to bring our research ideas to a global stage. The Kingdom's vision of a sustainable future and KAUST's role in supporting it have been a huge motivation for us each day we step into the lab and carry forward our research and innovation.”   Join us in congratulating the Trace CO2 team!
