The Northern Lights (NL) project is a major initiative for carbon capture and storage in Norway. The aim of the project is to capture CO₂ from industrial sources, transport it to an onshore terminal on the west coast of Norway, and then store it permanently under the North Sea. The first phase of the project, due to start in 2025, will have the capacity to store the equivalent of the emissions from 750,000 cars each year. NL signed world's first commercial agreements on transport and storage of CO₂ with companies Norcem (cement), Celsio (waste) and Yara International (fertiliser). The NL project is the first European CCS project in "open-source" mode, meaning that the CO₂ comes from different industrial sources. It forms the transport and storage part of the Longship project, a Norwegian government initiative aimed at decarbonising industry and achieving the 'net zero' objective.
Phase 1: The construction is completed, with a storage capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per year (Mtpa) and the first injection of CO2 scheduled for July 2025. Phase 1 also includes surface infrastructure and a pipeline capacity of 5 Mtpa. Phase 2: The post-FEED (commercial) phase is underway with a targeted capacity of 4.1 Mtpa. The final investment decision (FID) is scheduled for December 2024, with start-up planned for April 2028. Environmental impact: The project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by providing a cross-border CO2 transport and storage service.
CCS, or Carbon Capture and Storage, is an integrated process comprising three distinct parts: carbon capture, transport and storage. The technology aims to produce a concentrated stream of CO2 that will be conditioned, transported and permanently stored in geological sites on land or under the seabed. CCS is seen as an important solution for reducing CO2 emissions from various industrial sources (power stations, cement, steel, ...) helping to combat global warming and protect air quality. It is also aligned with the climate objectives of the Paris Agreement, enabling countries to meet their greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. In addition, CCS makes it possible to add value to existing infrastructures by extending their lifespan and reducing their environmental impact. Finally, the CCS model is part of the strategy of major industrial countries (EU, UK, US, Canada, Japan). This not only brings credibility, but also a large amount of funding from the authorities.
