TotalEnergies, Equinor and Shell transport first CO2 volumes to Northern Lights

TotalEnergies (TTE) and its partners, Equinor (EQNR) and Shell (SHEL), announce that the first CO2 volumes were successfully transported by vessel from Heidelberg Materials’ cement factory in Brevik, Norway to Northern Lights’ facilities in Oygarden. They were then injected 2,600 meters below the seabed into the storage facilities, 100 km off the coast of Western Norway. Northern Lights is the world’s first merchant CO2 transportation and storage project. The first phase of the project has a storage capacity of 1.5 Mt CO2/year, which has been fully booked by customers from Norway and Continental Europe. Final Investment Decision of the second phase was announced in March 2025, which will increase the project capacity to more than 5 Mt CO2/year from 2028.
