Northern Lights

Northern Lights refers to the CCS project located Norway that transport CO₂ from capture sites in the North Sea area to Øygarden where a CO₂ receiving terminal is present. From this onshore terminal, CO₂ is injected into an offshore XXX via a pipeline. The project is a joint venture between XXX, and is a part of the Norwegian Government's wider Langskip (Longship) programme.

CCS Project

Capture

Northern Lights takes CO₂ from a number of individual capture facilities to their storage site. Table XXX shows the operating CO₂ capture projects with agreements to store CO₂ with Northern Lights. Table XXX shows the in development CO₂ capture projects with agreements to store CO₂ with Northern Lights.

Operating CO₂ capture projects with agreements to store CO₂ with Northern Lights

Transport

There are two components to the transport of CO₂ in the Northern Lights project, shipping collection and pipeline injection.

Storage

- Aurora

Technology

- LCO2 Shipping

Costs

Gassnova, the state entity responsible for the wider Langskip program, have reported that the

Estimates for capital expenditure related to the new compression equipment, transport, and injection systems range from XXX to XXX

Future Plans

As of XXX 2025, Northern Lights announced an expansion of it's transport and storage capacity from 1.5 Mtpa to 5 Mtpa.
